Wrong Checkering Pattern ?
I recently purchased a 12ga GH damascus with 26 in barrels at a local gunshop. The checkering is worn smooth but is still visable. The woodgrade and stock serial number (100XXX) are correct for the G. The gripcap is the old style, plain with the center oval raised and checkered. When I looked at the checkering pattern, the pattern was wrong ! The pistolgrip pattern looks more like a V grade with more coverage down to the pg cap and the forend checkering has the 2 diamond patterns but narrower in coverage and there is no uncheckered border around the release latch. It does not appear that it was recheckered. Could someone have requested the change in pattern ? I havent requested a letter on it as yet. Any thoughts ?
