Would you be upset if someone sold you a gun, and told you it was original, but you later found out it was redone by Remington? I would.

To me, there is simply one definition of 'Original'. That mean's it is in the condition it was in when it left the factory when it was new, and not brought back to look like the condition it was in when it left the factory.

If you held up an as-new Meriden Parker to an as-new Remington Parker there would be even less argument.

Originality IMHO is a one time thing.

In my post, I described a Remington redone gun with code stamps as "very interesting and valuable". That's a long way from "original".
