Butt Plate Surprise

[Dean Romig]

Just me, but I'd rather know David did it rather than wonder who had... and if I could trust the repair while not having known it had been done by a true artist.

[Gunner]

Maybe he could have put in a copy of his old hunting license with the date of repair on it and made everyone happy rather than scratching on the underside of the plate. It doesn't bother me but where do you draw the line? This might encourage a lot of "smiths" to pull the electropencil out of the bottom drawer to sign their work.
Is the but-plate original or a replacement?
