I have just bought a Model 1 1950 with deluxe walnut stock and it has had rust under the woodwork. Apparently this was due to a chemical reaction between the walnut and the bluing used by Brno. It didn't affect the beech stocked models. Unfortunately, mine was parkerised but still has the original serial numbers 75532. Shoots brilliantly.

Hi 10 ring, yes I do feel lucky. The wood when I looked at it didn't strike me as walnut so you have just answered one of my questions, its Beech. I think the magazine is original I havn't been around a Bruno for a few years so I will have another look. I will try to get a photo and put it up on here
