Help with my CH
I have a CH circa 1900. Factory letter stars it started life as a basic CH with Bernard barrels. It states the "stock book" is missing but I'm not sure what that means or what it may have told me.
It now has ejectors. I'm wondering if this was done at the factory. How can I tell? Of course it has a different stock but the stock does have the factory serial number so I assume it was restocked when the factory installed the ejectors?
The gun is in really good condition. Stock has a lot of finish with just a few compressions here and there. Barrels show all pattern with a few light marks and some wear at the muzzle. Almost too good to be a 100 year old gun. I guess it's possible the barrels were redone at the factory when the ejectors were installed, assuming that's what actually happened.
The other odd thing is that the triggers have a gold finish. Does that make sense?
Is there anyway to determine by inspecting the gun whether this work was
done by the factory?
thx, Ray
