Did you do the work yourself? The stock looks to have been finished with no stain applied. I don’t think any stain could improve on the way it turned out… It’s beautiful.
Years ago, I saw Ed Aubert, of Suisun, California deliver a re-stocked Model 12 to a customer. This was after the customer had gone through the fitting process, which could take six months. Before Ed arrived, the customer was like a child waiting on Christmas morning. His gun looked a lot like yours. Ed had the gun completely re-worked and it looked like new. Better than new in my opinion.
Only red or silver shells in the gun, now… ok… maybe some Federal papers…
Shoot well,
