Just a note a out the buttstock. How is the fit of the metal to the wood? I mentioned that the form or shape was not correct on it. This is a dead giveaway that it is not original. It looks a bit fat if anything. And that buttstock could most likely be shaped down to a correct profile in the wrist and comb areas. Add some checkering and it would not be as obvious that the stock is not original. And, doing this may actually boost value.
