Is that a gold inlay on the doll’s head? Can’t really tell from that pic but is the doll’s head complete and correct ? The fore-end latch is supposed to be case colored as is the tip metal.

I can send another photo Reggie. It appears to be worn case coloring.

It’s almost as if I prefer old worn guns. You know what you got...

Looks like the gun has been re-blued and re-stocked. Parts are blued that should be case colored. Nice piece of wood. The receiver appears original.

As far as I can tell the receiver is original, serial numbers match, the "hidden" last three under the water table are correct, the barrel lug serial is correct. That's what I mean, still feeling my way at this I'm not sure if I should be upset about the blued parts. I could just go kill birds with it and wear the bluing off I guess. Could not be happier with the wood even if it's not original and dimensions are great for me. He said it was refinished or restocked by a guy name Pirelli 30 years ago, no further details available.

Are you confident the barrels are on face? The last picture looks like the fit is “off”. I will defer to more expert opinions.
