Is it an ejector gun or an extractor? That is the main thing to consider when looking for a forend. Though finding an original and complete high grade forend may be difficult, it can be done if you are patient. And there MAY be issues with fit.
It may be best for you to consider having a new forend crafted from parts. An original 1 frame iron can be fitted, or an original unfitted iron can be fitted as well. New wood made and all parts engraved to match.
Would maybe be more than finding an original, but only way to guarantee a perfect fit. And, iron can be stamped so that non-originality would be hard to detect.
Cost of finding an original forend complete all depends on how much someone wants for such a high grade piece.
