This vendor's items are a complete fraud IMNSHO... <img border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" title="" src="graemlins/cussing.gif" />
This final item being offered so obviously new

Don't be taken in by this modern "fabrication" stuff... the word "reproduction" would even be an insult in this case. Reproduction implies that it is a close copy of an original... Sorry... not here....
This stock is brand new wood with a hasty finish over it... hoping to make a killing by duping the stupid american collector novices--- what a blatant attempt at FRAUD...
I wouldn't buy anything this seller offered as genuine.
Look at these holsters he is offering as genuine... there is no way these could be genuine unless they were hermetically stored in a vacuum for 60 plus years... they are all brand new with brand new stamps on them...
