Jerry,
I sure appreciate the detailed analysis and the explanations, now I just have to bring it back to the owner and tell him that I'm not selling this one.
I must say that it had me completely fooled. The craftsmanship is outstanding, the leather quality is great, and the aging (including the fine spider cracking) is 100% convincing. This is one of the reasons why I only collect the guns. They could be refinished, but at least you can be sure that they are not modern day reproductions!
