Default Could not pass it up ...

Relatively local gun shop had this D grade listed on their email. I have not seen the gun in person, but for $1,500 I thought it was worth the risk #101887. Lots of drop but oh well. Will order the letter shortly. Tell me I am not crazy please

It looks like a good original example.

You see lots of D grades with checkered cheeks, my DHE 16 has them, do the knowledgeable think they were original, or added later. I don't have the eye to tell (old eye doctor joke). A lot of drop, but I wouldn't have passed it up at that price, congrats on a nice pick up.
