Nice gun. Gamba made high quality guns and went into business just a few years after Beretta. Around the time your gun was made the two brothers left separated into two different entities.

Just as a side note, I repair cracks in a manner very similar to the one you used. I have found over the years that I get a little better result by drilling a blind hole, inserting and marking the pin, cutting it slightly short then inserting it into epoxy and setting it with a very small pin punch. That sets it below the surface and allows the hole to be filled with a drop of epoxy colored to match the wood as closely as possible. It ends up with a smaller hole than can be achieved with drilling the top out and a much neater patch. They end up as very tiny patches and when color matched well are almost invisible. They are less noticeable than even small wood plugs because the different color and varied grain shows up more than the tiny pin hole. A black plug, depending on the grain and wood of the stock can look like a small knot.
