GH butt stock question
A new acquisition. Letter has been ordered. A 1905 GH 12, 1 frame with 26 in bbls choked cyl and full, 1889 patent but 1910 boltplate--probably a factory return. 6lbs 6 oz on the digital scale. My question concerns the buttstock. A Pachmayr recoil pad was added in the long ago past, and the DHBP removed, except for the spur, which was cut off and left in place. LOP to wood is 14, with the curve intact, so nothing removed there. The stock has what may be a factory reinforcing rod installed, but no patent stamp behind the PG cap, only a yellow/white inlay pictured. What appears to be a reinforcing rod shows on the butt, down near the lower screw hole. Appears to be two concentric circles, pictured. Also, the butt is stamped CAL B as shown. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the expertise.
