I gotta admit, it still fools me. To my uneducated eye I couldn't tell you if it was original or not. I wonder if we are looking at two different rigs? I don't see the double line of stitching on the ends of the stock block nor do I see a belt loop, the boot is lined, and the screws look patinated. ????
I'm glad I don't have to make the call.
