    The volley sight recess looks like a recent addition.

    I agree, it doesn't look quite right. (The second gun)

    I would have to agree, it doesn't look quite right (you can never tell from only looking at pictures of course) but I would guess it is the original, just heavily sanded and the plate fitted out of alignment??

    Some careful reworking to the woodwork would make a huge improvement and have her shipshape again.

    Sorry to sound negative eaglelord, but its all fixable with a bit of enjoyable work and you get to put your own stamp on her too
