The forend on your gun is not original. It would have originally had a splinter forend on it and someone fashioned a beavertail for it at some time. The buttstock also looks to have been reworked some and the checkering recut on it. But the wood that the butt is made of itself does appear to be original to the gun.

Brian,

Thank you for the information. I sort of remember my grandfather talking about the forend needing to be replaced and possibly having the barrels reblued which I do not believe was done. With not having all of the original parts , does that lessen the value by quite a bit?

Thanks
