Methinks it was restocked. Using a yardstick I got 1 1/2” and 2 1/4” .

My unfounded opinion on this gun is that some well off sport bought it new and later wanted it embellished . I also believe the sport hunted in AR , MS or LA for waterfowl the guns 30” F&F . I also believe at some point the sport gave it to someone possibly the guy I got it from’s grandfather . I doubt that this guys grandfather bought it based on the fact that I asked the fellow how he ended up in Virginia and he told me he had moved here looking for work . “Generally” all the well heeled folks I know or have met from the Deep South didn’t move for work . Anyway that’s just my opinion .

I hope somehow we find out about the upgrade - especially, to me anyhow, about the engraving.

I still think there's a big question about the Ansley Fox in a banner. Definitely points to a factory or factory employee engraving job.

Removed the stock today and of course got the screw out the head . I think the wood will head to Danny Patton and see if he can perform ANOTHER miracle . Get the head oil free and glued , put on a pad and fill in the finial . My gunsmith buddy can get the lever back over in a more right of center position . It also has a slight bend which he seems to think he can work out as well . Think I’ll get him to do a rust blue on the barrels . After he’s finished with the top lever I’ll see if I can’t get the exterior of the action cleaned up relatively well . I was hoping when I got the Jostam off I’d find something written beneath but no cigar same under the grip cap . So far nothing SF
