Roger that on the not NIB condition with the nicks. Wood does not qualify as described either, not for a Repro. Many are much much nicer than this one. I would have flipped the buttstock blank 180 deg before carving and the grain orientation through the wrist is not good. Maybe if it was stripped and given a nice red colored oil finish as one of our members did with his, and wrist was given the copper sheet/wire/nails treatment... At least the colors are unworn. I have a 2-bbl set like that but DT, SFE, SG, and I paid a LOT less than that for it. Are we being too hard on it for some??
