If only he had consulted a good wood worker for the recheckering of the grips...
IMHO this is a restored piece. Even a slightly handled original example will show traces of wear and handling. The checkering of the grips, especially around the back areas, indicates that they were either poorly done originals or refreshed at some stage. The straw especially will fade over the years, creating a slightly speckled appearance. My personal opinion: if it is too good to be true, it usually isn't. ps: since boxes are rarer than the pistol, it's surprising that it is only at some $75 at the moment. If I were in the states I'd be all over it. |
