1917 Artillary find

Yes it came with a stock numbered to the gun 199d. When I unlaced the stock from the holster I found a lot of dried mud. The were literally stuck together. Not too much damage to the holster but the stock suffered loss of varnish or whatever it was originally finished with. Loading tool was present but no cleaning rod. The leather was dried out but flexible (soft but cracked). Will try again today to get photos posted.
