Hi Bob,

After seeing the pics, your almost century old rifle has a nice patina to it and as a self confessed purist, I would urge you not to refinish the metalwork. It's a nice honest rifle. I know you said the stock is unmarked but if you look closely behind the trigger guard, you may see 14 1/4 stamped along with a number followed by LB. The former is the stock length and the latter the fixed trigger pull weight in Imperial pounds.

Kind regards,

John
