Any gun, old or new, if ordered that way.

The checkered cheeks on the Annie Oakley "Gold Hearts" DH gun were billed out at $3.00 in 1901. Oddly, all the gold plating and extra embellishments on that gun were not billed. One extra gold heart seems to be billed at $5.00 or $15.00 depending on how you read the order.

I am really trying to improve my eye on determining when things have been messed with. I believe that the DHE has been restocked and the way the checkering meets at the top is one reason, comb to grip height seems a little off too. Can anyone weigh in and say why they think it is original or not? Just trying to further my education.

Thanks!

Todd, and Ian, I have to agree, the stock is very reminiscent of those seen on competition guns. Overall, I would have to question the stocks origin, as some features look 'Parker', others do not. The drop points are not as graceful as most Meriden stocks, and the cheeks, in general, are sort of oddly shaped. That's the best way I can describe it. While I don't like the look of the comb, I have never been a diehard target shooter, and must admit that what works, often isn't what looks good.

The butt stock appears to be a replacement and, having read the seller's description, I may not be the only one who has this opinion.

If not replaced, at least 'reworked' considerably. The drop points look very 'original' though.
