I see a split on one side that runs out to at least the checkering.......I see possibly 2 splits on the other side and maybe some feathering between them.
I have no dog in this debate but wonder if the fix to this would actually be cost prohibitive and would it mess with existing external finishes.......my guess is no unless they loose a chip of wood pulling the gun apart?
I have only seen a limited number of LCs , some with spits at the end of the lock plates but never one split through or unusable, Crescents, yes.
