I'm new here folks, and I must say that this is a very informative site. The reason I'm here is that I am seeking help and info concerning a gun stock that I acquired from a co-worker. I was told by another person that it is a 1854 Lorenz, but I have no other info other than that. It is in excellent condition and has some cartouches that would shine some light onto where this weapon has been in it's life if I knew how to decipher them. the only parts left on the gun are the trigger, trigger guard and band springs...the guy I got it from is unaware of the remaining parts with the exception of the barrel which he says his step son drove into the ground years ago in his garden as a tomato stake! I had many things I wanted to say about his step son, but I bit my lip instead. I was told on another board that there is a fellow by the name of Don Dixon that frequents this site and he is quite the expert on all things Lorenz...not to alienate anyone because all info will most assuredly be appreciated for sure. My hope is that I can find out some history on this stock and hopefully restore it back into a shooter if parts are available and fairly reasonable cost wise. Thank you all for any info you might be able to share.
