Since you see a LOT of old guns in your business maybe you can answer this : I just bought a 'select' 45 cal Shansi Broomhandle , I read all the websites and translated the markings , it has 2 differant import stamps on it but its in EXCELLENT condition , the finish looks old original , its dated to a 1st model (1929),
In your experience have any of these been stored so well that they could be in such good shape ??
The materials and workmanship is not shabby at all , I heard that there were some specimens that were copied in the 80's & 90's but this looks pretty good ,Il be taking pictures soon.
