As mentioned above, this gun deserves hand-on inspection and consultation. There are three types of guns, type 1, obviously wrong, we can save the shipping cost; type 2, gray guns, nothing wrong from the pictures, worth hand-on checking; type 3, a proper subset of type 2, are classified as originals.

Just followed the link and read the posts in Jan's forum. Be honest, I have not found anything wrong with it yet.

P.S. Pete & Vlim raised good points there. I feel the inspector marks and proof on this gun are not only correct, they can be used as a reference to judge other 1917, IMO. Looks like light rust was removed from the rear sight leaf of Vlim's gun in the past.
