Well, some handy dandy frontiersman decided to customize it by sawing off the stock about where the second band should be. I have short stock, barrel, back band, ramrod, and all functional hardware. Just need to replace the stock and middle band and nose cap. I know that they were all hand made and that the parts are not likely interchangeable. If I could lay hands on the front two bands, then it wouldnt be much of a deal to fit them to the stock.
It will be a tussle to get it fixed back up, but it will be worth it, as it belonged to my great great gpa. It is in amazingly good condition, and I think could be fired if I could get a new stock for it. In fact, the old man used it like it is, it just looks funny. He brought it with, when he came from Ohio to Kansas in about 1868. I have pics of it somewhere, maybe I can find them.
