I'd be happy to disassemble and take any pictures of this early gun to anyone interested it further.
Offhand, I can't think of anything needing disassembly, but: Two-notch, or three notch tumbler? Sight held with slotless screws, yes/no?

All the more reason to treat it kindly and enjoy what you have. You will NOT easily find another so original.

What are these worth with a refinished stock if you might know?

Price would be what one would pay for such an early, complete and correct rifle.
Since the original stock is missing hurts the value substantially.
You may be able to find a correct stock at a show or watch for one on eBay, they do come up on eBay once in a while.
If you do sell it with a correct stock be sure to let the buyer know it is a replacement.
