Dwight, and Edward both, thank you. I found some photos of the eagle-over-6, and you're both correct...the six is very distinct in those photographs. The eagle on mine isn't nearly as clear. Well, that's one less thing I'll have to wonder about
So this gun looks "proper", in it's current form? That is, it's not a mixmaster, or something someone threw together for the heck of it?
Can I safely take it out and use it as a shooter, or is it something I should put into my collection as a keeper but only occasional shooter, and find something more appropriate for range use? I'm embarassed to say what I paid for it, but when I bought it it was priced as a very cheap range blaster. VERY cheap range blaster, which is what I was intending to use it for until I got curious and opened a book.
