I ended up refinishing the stock myself because it had a lot of oil in the neck, but yours looks good. Like the straight grip, mine was PG.
The pinning looks to be done well. If it ever bothers you I believe Mr. Dudley can make those pin spots go away. But if they don't bother you, I say leave em alone. They are part of the gun's history.

I talked to Danny Patton about the pins already and we came to the decision that they didn't hurt anything .
The drop in the stock is 1 1/2" and 2" . I "think" this gun and I may get along very well .
I haven't checked under the trigger guard for the serial number on the wood but I doubt seriousely that the woods been swapped on this gun .
Twenty or so years ago I had a VH #1 frame 16 gauge with a straight grip stock , 30" pipes choked F&F . Wish I had it back now it would've made a fair to middlin clays gun as well I think .
