Mike, the checkering on the forend appears recut to me, it is coarse for a G grade, the border is wrong and all the original Gs I have seen have a border around the latch. The photos of the buttstock checkering are not clear enough to tell if it has been recut, but the finish looks odd to me. The border at the end of the rib can be faked, I would want bore and choke measurements before laying out that much money. IMHO the entire gun has been enhanched.
