Hey - you did just fine on that one! Yes, it's a "cut down" but a lot of them were altered that way to use for shotguns. Kind of like taking an old Mauser and "sporterizing" it. You have well over $50 just if you "parted it out" and sold the lock, trigger assembly, butt plate, etc. You have to remember that even these "cut downs" have a history of their own. Welcome to the forum and enjoy that piece of history every time you look and handle it. I think it's pretty nice!
