Another thanks for resurrecting this thread, I hadn't seen it.
I picked up a 67 several years ago at an estate auction. It's an amalgamated version - it has the early finger-groove stock, but has a 67A bolt. Also, no serial number.
After running a patch or 20 down down the bore, I cleaned the stock (which was incredibly filthy) with 4-0 steel wool and Mineral Spirits, very lightly rubbing it down.
It looks good now, and shoots very accurately - better than my eyes can see.
Eventually, having no children of my own, I hope to hand it down to a great-nephew (or niece).
