25-35 Model 8 is coming home, need butt plate info please.

[Noel]

Well, if it weren't for this gentleman in this picture I wouldn't have ever discovered the first automatic designed for sporting use.


I just procured this here Model 8 and should have it in a couple weeks. It was built in 1908. Can anyone help me with what style of butt plate it would have had for origonal? That brown thing has got to go! The rest is all origonal. Will make a great match for the model 14.



I think I may be spiralling out of control!

Thanks for your help.
Noel
