Its a very pretty gun and if redone, it was done very well. That said, I bought a simson in PA that was awfully nice and used to own a mauser that was 98-99% - so its possible.

I just got this back from Simpson:

"Simpson LTD <sales@simpsonltd.com>
To: fla.mallard@yahoo.com
Yes, it has been refinished."

Thank you very much for cluing me in on this.
