One of the more desirable serial number ranges for collectors. The only more coveted is the steel trigger 2 3/4 inch chamber guns of 1949 and very early 50s. Your stock was barely trimmed. A horn butt could be reinstalled flat and you would be almost back to original length. It has to be installed by a real good stockmaker to avoid ending up a mess. I don't know if your gun was shod in horn, but the serial number is close enough for horn to be proper. If your gun is a solid rib gun, it could be worth $4000 once you get the buttplate back on properly. Vent rib and gold trigger, maybe $3200.
