My CHE wears very dark wood compared to the guns I 've seen and guns pictured here on the Forum.The stock is one that was placed on gun in 1917 by the factory ,as so documented.I also have the original stock from 1912 when gun was shipped.The fore end is this same dark wood.It is original .
The only stock that I have seen pictures of that is as dark is one of the Invinceables recently pictured in the Parker Magazine.
Were customers allowed to choose the wood and color shade desired on replacement special order gun stocks?This stock looks like "black walnut",it is really that dark.Also appears to have oil finish rather than the shiney gloss I see on other guns.
Any comments would be welcome..
Thanks,
Bill
