Well, I am finding this thread very interesting as i purchased this particular shotgun a few weeks ago. It was advertised as being original finish but on inspection upon receipt (In good light} I noticed that the left side of the stock was dished where someone had sanded a dent or scratch near the butt plate. The wood to metal fit at the action is very tight, also at the forend. The bores are bright with no visible pitting or dents and the action is tight. The lettering on the rib is clear and crisp. i paid less that the asking price and although it sounds like it is not original finish I am happy with the purchase. Since the stock is dished I am considering restocking the gun with a nice piece of California English and re-refinishing the barrels and action. She's a keeper!
