Looks like an early GH grade with sleeved barrels and an altered stock.

The serial number is a total mystery.

Bill is right. Sometimes you just wonder what people were thinking

its an exercise in creative writing

i like the claim of "a blank oval intentionally factory made on the rib" - where someone - likely the sleever -milled out the word DAMASCUS

I dont know why someone would have removed and changed all the original serial numbers.

This gun was previously listed at $3,500. I sent the seller a note which nicely losted all that i saw with the gun since he didnt seem to know much about it. I also advised him he was asking WAY more than hevwould ever get.

I was glad to see that he actually thanked me for my info and relisted it at a penny start and no reserve.

Removing or altering the serial number of a firearm is a Federal felony if I'm not mistaken.

Dean,

You are correct in that thought and not mistaken.
