Need advise on early Winchester resto

[N8Gunner]

Last week I acquired my 2nd early Winchester,This one has serial # 11100xx.
My best guess is that it was produced in mid 1943.
The barrel is marked W and has the (PW) on the barrel as well.
all of the parts on it appear to be all original Winchester , but it has a few issues......
The "L" marked front sight has had its "ear's" cut off flush, with the sight base.
The type 1 front band has released,(separates) at it's spot welds, and is missing its original swivel.
Lastly , the "I" cut high wood stock has had all stampings and cartouche' removed and is coated with a too shiny for my taste , "tru oil" type finish.

I would like to have the stock restored ,perhaps even cartouche restoration( re stamping the correct Winchester stock stamps )
Can anyone recommend a source for the stock/ cartouche restoration ?
I haven't had any luck finding an original win type 1 swivel , or "L" marked wincheser front sight yet, so am pondering going with repros on those 2 items , and also considering a re park on the entire gun. Any advise is much appreciated by this newbie- Thanks, in advance
