As suggested, I ordered a letter from Cody Museum and although it provided interesting historical info there was no indication regarding the configuration of the butt stock. Pursuing another avenue, I searched for, and found, a photo of a ’94, 38-55, manufactured in 1897 (same year as mine) with a crescent shaped stock and metal plate.
I will move ahead with replacing existing stock with the crescent design and am wondering if anyone has experience with a reliable source. The only company I’ve come across is Midwest Gunworks who offers a variety of designs.
Would appreciate any thoughts on Midwest or recommendations for other sources.
Thanks

I would much prefer a “period” stock rather than new. How/where would I search for a vintage stock/plate?
BTW, I notice that you’re from “the County”. My wife and I (originally New Englanders) are summer Mainers escaping the heat and humidity of Charleston for the cooler and slower paced Port Clyde.
Thanks for making contact and I look forward to your suggestions.

When a CFM letter does not mention the butt it means it was delivered with the standard butt. Crescent butt was standard.
Thank you for clarifying. I wasn’t comfortable with using a “best guess” so this puts me on the right track. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
Hi, I’m from ‘The County’. This is God’s country up here, but He don’t stay up here in the ‘wintah’.
