Dan,
If you go to the home page and click on the Grades tab you can scroll down to the D Grade page and see what the wood should look like. I'm far from an expert and anything is possible but I noticed that the cheek piece is checkerd on the stock and there is no drop point and the forend shape looks off and there is no metal decorative inlay on the tip. Still a great set.
