My First SBT

[Bill Murphy]

Post some better pictures of the buttstock and we will tell you whether it is likely to be original or a replacement. In fact, we would like to see better pictures of the entire gun, especially the engraving.

I guess i need to find somewhere to have this looked at. I am not sure it has been restored, it looks like a safe queen. Anyone know a good place to take it?

What is your approximate geographical location (state or major city)? Maybe there is a PGCA member near you that can help you out.

I looked at the pictures in your file. It sure looks like either a safe queen, a good refinish, maybe a restock, maybe not. Whatever, it is a great gun that is worth north of $4000. A clearer picture of the breech area showing the checkering on the grip would give us a better idea whether it is a restock or not. It looks like the original checkering pattern.

I can go on all day, I like taking pictures of art.

I know the screws are cocked on the bottom, i didn't want to touch them

Paid 6K for my B grade... and happy I got it

You got a great buy on that gun. Others will know better but that looks like the original stock to me. B grade SBT's are rare birds. What is the length of the barrel?
