Typical fashion for this seller. Does not obtain a letter to verify the claims made in the description, and does not provide the serial number so that an interested buyer can get a letter. The buyer is expected to buy the gun, with “confidence”, at a premium.

Ask for the full serial number and see if you get it.

There was a lot of convoluted conversation about this gun on the other forum and pictures would not be posted. Now they are on the gunbroker listing.
I do have to admit that the gun does appear like it could be legit.

I think it is an interesting gun...but I am not interested in owning it.

I saw that exchange on DGJ. Rough crowd over there!!!

They toned it down over there. It was really out of hand for a while and sometimes humorous. My favorite was when they were accusing each other of being "closet anti-gunners"

If the metal plate is the only issue, it would make a good shooter for someone

I find the steel butt plate aesthetically pleasing and functional.

That "Ed-1" actually is Ed Good.

The buttplate could be original but keep in mind that a VH of that vintage actually would have had a spurred DHBP so installing an earlier spurred steel butt plate would have been no great feat. That being said, those screws were perfectly fitted and THAT'S quite a feat.

Isn't the wood rounded under the steel plate? Also the comb "looks" fatter to me.
