Yes, looking closely at the pics, which I hadn't done, I would agree that the stock was cracked and repaired, although nicely done.
As Chris says, the fact it doesn't have evidence of natural ageing after 90 years proves it's been refinished to some degree. The stock repair possibly prompted the refinishing.
It must have been otherwise a very nice example because the lettering is so sharp and there's no sign of it having been made shallower. I particularly like that the blueing is grey-blue and not black-blue.
It's would be odd if the little patch of pitting was still there after being polished and reblued?
