Thanks for both responses and pics.
I think I5E stumbled in the answer for my question.
The reason I am asking is that I came by a really nice NID 2E 12 ga with everything in really nice condition except for a really bad attempt at carving a replacement buttstock. FA is original and in exc condition.
After purchasing the gun I bought a 3 point stock off a later field NID and the condition, color and checkering would be a great match for my 2E forearm. The buttstock need s little fitting but close as it is.
So it seems it is grade specific more than date specific and a real nice 2 point would be the most appropriate for my gun?
Thanks again for the input.
