[B. Dudley]

i guess my question would not be what doesnt look original, but instead what does look original? Not much, in my opinion.

The color of the wood and finish suggests it is newer. The fit around the locks and action look to be below normal quality and the little i see of the checkering looks totally incorrect by way of pattern. Far too closely cut to the cheek panels and upper tang. And also, looks more fresher cut to be original.
