Hope you find something. Try contacting Mauser directly; you'd be surprised how far some companies will go for a rare old example ofc their product.

I'dbe interested to hear how much excess you will need to pay and if it's covered for that type of accident.

Ive put the claim in and indicated that I want it written of so to speak because it will never be "original" again, even if nobody can tell , i will know! If they found me a mint original stock and buttplate , id probably live with it, only because I love the rifle so much!
Im still very angry at myself, I really love this lil old .22 and am ashamed for letting this occur. Seriously wouldn't have cared (well, maybe just a little!) if it was any other rifle.So lucky i took out insurance only last week the day I picked up the rifle! Also luckily I took plenty of pictures prior to in hitting the ground to prove its original condition to insurer so Im confident.
