But back to the buttplate, it hosts a cartridge trap opening, more than likely metal to access the cartridge holes and it was accompanied by green felt or similar. Finding one of those would prove to be quite difficult.

Value, well I do not have it in hand, but if it functions and the rifling isn't deeply pitted, I am sure it is well worth $500 U.S. of A.
