There are many here who are much more knowledgeable than I, and certainly more particular

; if I'm buying a gun as a shooter, originality is not as important to me as it is to some, so long as the lack of originality is reflected in the price. One downside of a gun that's not original can be, what else has been done to it, and have things been done that will affect it mechanically? Why did someone choose to blacken the trigger plate or make the pigeon gold; is it paint or some chemical process or...? Does the extra carving on the forend mean a replacement, etc.? Hard to tell from the pic but the receiver looks really shiny; has it been polished or buffed? If you really like the gun and can establish that the issues are largely cosmetic, I think I'd want to pay under $2K for it.
The folks here telling you to walk away told me the same thing when I bought Orphan Annie, my Parker SBT, but for the price I paid she and I have been very happy together
