Original Shansei has a few characteristics:

1) It is a 10% or, at most a 20% gun;
2) Bore must NOT be excellent. Warlord arsenal did not have technology to make non-corrosive ammo. And, Chinese were not collectors. No "Safe Queen".
2) It has no importer stamp;
3) Grip panels must be worn, and the grip screw head is on the right side (reverse of Mauser); and
4) All steel parts are milled.
