Silverbullet;
good advice, thanks. I have done nothing to it; less is more, right? I would like to work on it but I will wait until I have the time. Ideally, I would like to reproduce the stock and then reassemble it. It has survived in a damp farm-house basement up until now, so, it's chances of survival now are much better in the possession of someone who cares and , also, in a modern bungalow basement/workshop. Surprisingly, no rust at all. Good Steel? It is Damascus. You are correct and I will oil it. I understand that these old guns need to be kept in good humidity conditions, etc. I think that it's better off now than before. I will up-date as things progress. Thanks for the input.
