This will get you to all three parts. The 102 was the first vintage rifle I bought off the bay 3 years ago when I retired. Loved this gun and it started me on a great hobby. I was fortunate mine was just about a perfect example getting to 600 fps with 6 pumps. The 102 with it loading mechanism is just querky fun, but deadly accurate as the report show. The tuff part is that there are so many of these rifles out there and many have had a hard life, collecting one that is really representative of what they were like new, can be a challenge. Plus many went back for service like mine and they always upgrade parts, I sure my valves are upgraded and my cocking knob is never version.

The wood of your 102 is amazing Steve! Anyone would be proud to have it in their collection. Congrats!

That has to be some of the finest "Tiger Stripped" walnut I have seen on any pumper period!
Here are a few pix of this superb wood;
