Astounded Brian has not commented. But as he recently commented on a gun of mine, the chekereing borders are not mullered. And , I have a gun from around the same era, with the metal in similar condition to this gun, but my wood is markedly more worn. Although not an expert, if the wood Is original, it is significantly refinished, and re checkered. It does not look correct. And again, there should be a shield (aka medallion) on the top wrist of the stock. it is important to know, that it is no disgrace to own a gun that has been re stocked, because, as one member already said, that is far better than had the gun suffered a broken stock, and the owner disposed of the gun. Photos of the entire gun will provide you with a plethora of info from this group.
