Yes, is there a spur on the top of the stock? Some had spurs and some didn't. You will need to know when getting a new one. If your stock still has a curve to it, then it most likely has not been cut.

The size of the buttplate would be determined by the frame size of the gun. They all vary by way of height. The frame size can be found on the bottom of your barrel locking lug. Will be a 1, 1-1/2 or 2.

Reproduction buttplates can be had from a few different sources, but many of them found are made by a company called "Vintage Gun Grips". They have a website, and you can order directly from them.

A replacement buttplate will usually require a little fitting.
