Hey everyone, Hey Bert, I looked this up and the serial says 1912-1913. So, pre WW1. What would this have been used for? Settling the west still? Also, would anyone know where to find a new shoulder plate for the butt stalk? 

Thanks,

Jim in Seattle,WA

Jim,

February or March 1912.

You did not provide any details about the gun, specifically which variation is it? Gauge?, Barrel length? Choke marking? etc..
