Norm,
Post a photo of your AE FB polished safety area and the strawed parts when you are able...entire gun photos would be nice as well.
I did not think your FB was a "fake"...just a refinished piece probably done 10-12 years ago...
You asked and I gave you my opinion...
You told me who the seller was before your money was sent and I shared my concerns about that source. This was 1-2 months ago, if I recall.
I think you got opinions from Doug Smith and possibly Don Rousseau as well on the floor of the show and those were not clouded by the dinner party's wines...
