Mobird, can you show us detailed pictures of the stock, the checkering, and the trigger guard engraving?
Have you lifted and turned the trigger guard to look for serial numbers stamped into the channel in the wood and into the underside of the tang?
Everything to this point seems to be nothing more than speculation.
