WEG seemed to be carved pretty deep, but I'll get it out and look again, lower butt is cracked in two.
Might be best hung up high. Starboard side to the wall, then you couldn't see the bolt, carved WEG, and the prospect drilling holes. That way it would only need dusting off a few times a year.
With the bolt pulled out, I can peel the meat off my finger from the rough metal under the drilled holes.
@ Midnite I posted A Happy New Year on the Carbine forum in which I said: Hope all find their dream find this year.
` 1-1/2hr later these in the next link showed up. At least I was able to start the year off with a good laugh. I told you guys I had a Motley Crew of 3 show up at 1:25 am Jan 1 2017:

Don't feel sorry for me, enjoy it for what it is............ to me a good hard laugh!
Later when I get serious (not laughing) I'll make a plan on whether to hang it up or see if any of the parts can help someone. Maybe the barrel could be usefull (?)
If I can return any favors for you help, I do alright on USGI Carbines.
Cheers Mates,
