Both Dwight & Ron are correct.
Please note, I did not say the gun was a fake. I too think it is a a very nice restoration.
Now to some a restoration is a fake. So lets not split this too finely.
The reason I looked at the crest was that knowing a restoration had taken place the crest is one of the best places to look. The details are almost always messed up to some degree in the restoration process.
It is a poor picture however and what we see and what we have may not be the same.
