Wow! Very helpful guys, thank you. Chris & Dean- I was wondering about the barrels. There is a D stamp that I thought might have been from original Damascus but I was hoping that wasn't the case.
But.. If so why would the rib be stamped titanic steel? I did find the 1 stamp on the barrel lug indicating frame size. ...Forgive me for my inexperience... ; )
I really wish I had more history on her! Unraveling the mystery just adds to the charm right? Hopefully I will get some answers from the research letter. I searched the serial number for the original order tags and they are available. Should I order that as well? What do you guys think? I might have to wait a few months because of the cost.

I am positive that the barrel was replaced before my Grandfather acquired it. The stock break was a tragic accident maybe 15 years ago by my Uncle. He took possession of the gun for a few years after the death of my father. Its been taped up until recently when I needed to get a better look. I will wrap it back up immediately to not cause any additional damage.

One more question - How do I move my post from Mills thread to its own? I didn't even realize that I posted original message as a reply. I am going to blame that one on the time of my post...

Brian Dudley - I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you responded to my post. Thank you! I was JUST given your contact information (along with a glowing review of your work) from a trusted friend the day before. Could I message you privately about possible repair work? other options?
