I just finished unwrapping it, absolutely beautiful, excellent wood and sharp checkering, barrels perfect, one small ding on right barrel. All matching numbers, lots of case color hardening. How can I tell if has been rebuilt, because it certainly looks all original to me. Bluing on barrels is nearly perfect. She has 30 inch barrels. A true example of American craftsmanship. It fits together like a pocket watch, stiff on opening.
