Those "slots" by the barrel band.....are they where you need the pearl shell for?

 Hi Stu.
No, this gun is all complete and in attic style condition. I've never cleand it. Notice this style with the shorter bend also has a wider wrist area. I've only held one other like this, and the wrist was the same.
Here is my other Tanchika I will make a shooter from. I's missing one pearl inlay on each side of the butt stock. The stock style is similar to yours.
