Steinar,

Fortunately you're not out too much if the thing turns out to be a toad. Just pray someone outbids you.
Since there is so much fakery going on with these guns my advice would be to befriend an expert in percussion arms and buy only with his approval... sort of like what I did here on the LF! {grin}
