Time to get serious...

I am not wildly enthusiastic about the finish/bluing but it could be the photo's.

Hi Zorba, I have to agree with Jerry. Hopefully the gun is better than the photos. Also, the seller sounds like a bit of a huckster...
Regards, Norm

gun at some point or other.....shoot the hell out of it, learn a bunch, and save up for the solid gold one that will tempt you the next time....personally, i like some dings and dents---that's called character....tom

When it gets here, I'll setup my softbox and try to get some good pix of it. I'm lookin' forward to it - seemed to be priced fairly (to me) compared to a lot of others - including the first one in this thread. In any event, it'll be fun to see the more knowledgeable folk pick it apart - that's how to learn!

Now I'm just going through the FFL hassle - my first choice is out of storage space (!!) - so I'll go see the expensive, "big" LGS tomorrow. The good news is I already have a box and a half of ammo to try it out with.
