ok. I got it.

Yes, this upgrade is done VERY well. When I was looking at it I could not see any of the other obvious telltale signs of upgrades and I did not notice the forend tip until I had it in my hands for several minutes.

I do not specifically recall details like water table grade stampings though.

Even the engraving style looked 100% correct for the period.

The forend tip was a bit of a head scratcher. Why not use the correct tip? If it was not for that, it would pass for original.

I like this gun a lot. Were it not for the short barrels which I do not care for it is one that I could proudly own and would prefer over a 70K gun. I would however opt for a really nice original VH over the upgrade. Given the fine quality of the work and the sellers historical data I am surprised the price is not higher. Of course the gun could have mechanical and or barrel issues that I am unaware of. Nice gun IMO, good luck with it Charlie if you go for it.
