Mauser C 96

Now the story behind the C96 and the stock!
Almost 20 years ago, an old man living in an old house preparing to take a bath.. He turn on the fire to heat the old boiler in the bathroom... And he forgot about that! After few hour the boiler exploded. Part of the bathroom wall collapsed and part of the roof also. The boiler fly across the street in the front yard of a hospital.Fortunately, nobody was hurt! But, in the middle of the street lay down a wooden holster with a pistol in it! Police arrived and , ofcourse, they took the gun. The searched the house to find more weapons, but they found in the attic only two leather holsters, unimportant for police , and they throw them to garbage. The Mauser went to be destroyed(melted), most of the guns are same fate here . I heard the story and I bought the pistol as a licensed collector(price of scap iron, ofcourse). The stock with the pistol have two cracks at the zone where the rear sight rest. But still exist, my brother have it. I foud the new stock an year ago, but empty. So, is better to tell my brother to give me back the old stock?( He have a C 96 like mine also)
