You are correct, the cloth is not original. Reproduction grill cloths are getting more difficult to find. Radiodaze is selling off their inventories. Richmond Designs has some excellent cloth and there are a few others you can find on ebay.

The top veneer could be glued back down if it is in decent shape other than separating from the base wood. I use Elmers wood glue, syringes and long spatulas to work glue in under areas like that. Then a good even clamping or heavy pressure over the entire area is needed. Its not a flat top veneer like yours but some discussion of Elmers on a 39-30 I worked on is found in this thread.

Cheers,
Bob
