An interesting thing to notice in your photos is that the trigger plate is not sitting flush with the frame in the front up by the dolls head portion. This is a good indication that something may be put together incorrectly on the inside.
The two screws in the guard is a shame. Looks like it may have been done when the stock was replaced. Maybe whoever did it was having a hard time getting the back of the guard tang to lay down. Other than that, I canno think of a reason as to why. That could be corrected by welding up and grinding back down the rear hole.
The gun has some nice heavy plumb patina. You usually don't see them worn that heavily.
The Gun is a V grade, making it lower on the value scale. But it is certainly worth getting back into safe shooting condition.
