That gun came up out of South America in 2008. Horst Held had it for a while earlier this year for $20K. There was some speculation that it had been restored but may be original. The bore is not as pristine as the exterior which raised the question of restoration. Both prices are reasonable for a gun that pristine. The fact that it is changing hands so quickly may be a further indication that it is restored.
