Tom: Case color on top and sides had pretty good coverage – that vast un-engraved "Art-Deco" (or is it Classical!) Trojan canvass – and looked authentic with that oil-in-water look, i.e., no garish “tiger-striping”.

It was the under-side of the receiver that was so very lacking in case color, and probably lead me to underestimate case color overall as being only 25%.

Bill: I neither have the knowledge nor equipment to evaluate and measure such as barrel wall thickness, but probably should. So, my examination was not thorough enough for me to have confidence in settling the purchase without the gun being examined by a professional.

The seller would have all the cash for the transaction while I had the gun for a couple of days “on approval”. Is that just not done, since the gun was “in-hand”?
