1917 Navy at Simpson's?

I agree with Ron. This piece is definitely not 97%. I don't think it is refinished unless it was done at the factory in the 1920's. I say that because of the halo around the GERMANY under the barrel. Maybe Simpson's is just getting overwhelmed with merchandise and they are rushing to get it out on the internet. I hope this sort of thing doesn't become more common so as to destroy the public trust.
