I have a Winchester Model 1912 s/n 111xxx that belonged to my grandfather. At some point in it's eventful life it suffered a fall and a broken stock. See pics below. The broken piece was glued back on but it eventually fell off and it was lost before I acquired the gun. Note, that the original butt pad is missing too. I understand that refinishing isn't recommended for these old guns but what can I do to restore its usefulness? Is there a source for replacement stocks? It would be great to take this old 12ga on another dove hunt. Thanks for your ideas.

**EDIT** I just checked Numrich. The stocks are out of stock. :(
