John welcome to the PGCA. Great you have a gun with family history.
Nothing about your description suggests a special order gun. More info might change that but the letter will hopefully tell the story.
If stock is oil soaked as you say it should be restored if you plan to shoot it to prevent damage to the stock. Fixing the toe and buttplate shouldn't be a problem. Show pic of dent and others will advise about removal. Again welcome, Erick
