What a SHAZAAM piece of wood!!

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, quite a piece of English Walnut. A blank like that today would cost well into four figures. It would be hard to determine who did the damaging refinish. It seems like the case hardening heat warped the floorplate. Hopefully, other parts fit OK and everything works. Definitely a showy gun with vivid colors and great wood. I have been told that there are people out there who can fix a bad floorplate mortise.

Help educate me.......what was there in the photo that shows a warped floorplate ?

First photo Joe, you can see the edge of the floor plate, it may be that it's not seated .
