yes it is, never noticed it, as I had not placed these together and sometimes, well, I just don't know the differences


Will find another or swap with one of these others :0

This one has a story, and why I have kept it.

Got it from a friend of mine; his father was at a hunting camp just across the Canadian border (water freezes the lakes in the winter), a french canadian came along, shared a meal and I guess they started gambling; he lost and at first wasn't going to "pay up", finally did and tossed the pistol to his dad.

The barrel is a mismatch, and the front toggle (although I had never noticed).
