This one sure seems to be fooling folks into bidding too much.

Holster looks like it has been darkened to look old. But this one photo is the tell-tale of a repro...the extra belt-loop in the vertical orientation is the tip off :

It is one of those fake Pakistani P.O.S. (NOT Point of Service). They are absolute crap.

Bidding over $ 900 USD...with one fellow who hangs out on the forums from time to time ?

What are they seeing that I am missing ? Is the wood legit ???

The stock appears to be good but the photos are too poor to judge.

George,

Agree; the wood looks nice but I wouldn't gamble on it being real. The holster is awful.

I sure like the looks of this leather a lot more, but the grain of the wood appears maybe too wide (???) :

I would sure pass on this deal.

The last one posted by Pete is right-as-rain in my opinion and will bring an easy $2000+. Hell, the cleaning rod's worth $200+. Have at it.
