Over the years I have seen so meany bad grips, i almost always have a copy of any bad set i see in my crap box.
same with this, they are Italian if the have two holes on the back, or Indian if they are more in to red color.
Wrong direction of the numbers on the barrel, can be from Finn or Swiss rework, and actually Kreghoff and I think Simpson did that as well.
But in this case the font of the numbers on the barrel is the same as an incorrect 1918 = modern numbers.
This gun is a project gun, that can be turned in to a Baby or Carbine, or just keep it as a shooter.
But the price for a it is max of $600, any more and you need to look away from the light ;0)
