Thank you for the replys! In order to maintain the guns value perhaps it would be wise to have a new splinter made using the existing irons and save the bwt. The gun is a Piotti.

Btw, I haven´t managed to locate discussion about the very best shotguns in the world. People, who owned Fabbris, Famars, Purdey, H&H etc. wrote interesting details about the guns. Can anybody help locating the topic (I don´t mean this one: http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...0&fpart=1)?
