A little input needed on case colors

[Bill Murphy]

The colors look great, original or not. The trigger should not be replaced, it is a wonderful trigger and does not detract from the value of the gun. The spacers and Hawkins pad should be left as is if the length is right for you. This is a wonderful gun that I would be proud to own and shoot. What is the serial number that I cannot read? How long is the stock from the middle of the trigger to the middle of the pad?

Bill,

In my opinion the colors are not original (although nice). What I see a lot on recolored guns is that there is a lot of straw around the edges of the frame and on the edge of the breach balls where the barrels meet. It's very evident on the photo's you posted. Also the watertable pattern is not what I'm used to seeing.

The condition of the colors don't match the rest of the gun's condition. Again, just my opinion.
