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!
