The DH WOOD is also not original - it's a restock that was probably a nice peice of wood, but really poorly done and maybe not salvageable. Original Skelton butt plate is there and I did get the original one which is a wreck.
The GH is a 12 and a damascus. Can still we the pattern fairly well but they have that brownish patina.
I don't know that I want to make the DH a parts gun. The thing is beautiful. I. see why a couple of you have said maybe an amateur restoration may not be the best thing to do. I may be going down a very dangerous path here- one where I'll
Spend lots of money.
I'll post some pictures when I get a chance, but I have a terrible time getting good detailed gun pictures for some reason.
