My opinion is that is was a VoPo with mismatched numbers and a bad blue job. It still has the same parts, the same numbers and a better blue job. I do not think the VoPo history has been altered, just added to. And it is more likely to survive going forward.
It was offered as an example of a members craftsmanship. It shows that well. I appreciate it being shown.
When an artillery shows up with a ground off stock flange, do we want to leave that alone as part of its history? Lots of decisions to be made on refinishing, and the fact that some folks are now collecting VoPos is just an input in that decision.
