I dont see much issue with the 16g. It could have been a chip out filled in with some gunk. Or who knows. As to original, there are a lot of claims made that nobody can truly back up, because they were not there.
If you want to make true comparisons to craftsmanship between Repros and original guns, lets talk about the checkering…

For comparison purposes only...
The top pic is the same DHE Repro forend shown above that the checkering has been described as horrible. How many D-Grade Repro owners here would describe their DHE Repro as having horrible checkering? The 2nd pic is a BHE Repro forend that the checkering has been described as being very well done. More time and labor was put into its mullered borders with more LPI than the production-built DHE-Grade.

Apples and Oranges. If one can get beyond the ghastly faux case colors, and the shape of the nose of the fore end, then consider the age difference of the wood, and the compression of the screws retaining the latch, which can be corrected. I just can't get beyond the failure to understand proper original checkering.

I have spent a lot of time looking at the pictures of that BHE 16. I can not convince my self it is original. I hope to be able to see it in person at the Southern if it is still available.

Bob I am curious. What has caught your attention? Not looking to degrade the gun but you are an astute observer so you have my attention.
