The better the "restoration was done" to begin with, and the more usage it has had since, the nearer impossible it becomes to state with certainty that it was ever restored. I have wondered many times how many self proclaimed experts would bet their life that a certain gun, about which they knew nothing of the provenance, was original or not. Even the best of the best Smithsonian gun curators wouldn't bet their life on their opinions. If they would, they're a fool.
No one is infallible. Well, there was One.

John Roberts done crawled out on a limb on this one.
Now he's done got mad and pouty because he can hear the limb cracking under the weight of his own stupidity.

Obvious an older refinish, JMHO. Also priced about double what it should sell for, maybe more. What's obvious? Rounded corners and edges? Nope. Polished-out engraving? Nope. Gaps in fit? Nope. Looks too good for it's age just because you say so huh? Priced double based on what, all the others available just like it? Yeah, didn't think so. JR Rustled and salty... Geez, it was JMHO. You like it so much, why don't you buy it?

You don't keep the metal pristine and beat the crap out of the wood. The trigger loop didn't look so pristine to me.... I hear tell them Remington SxS were hell to keep working maybe that's why the screws are turned ? I bet those nicks on the wood are rack nicks it got while it was sitting in a gunsmith shop trying to keep her running ? What say ye O John Roberts....

Nothing personal, Battle. Not judging, just asking. I don't want it. Never did. Just put it up for viewing and discussion because of its rarity and condition. Looks like I succeeded on that part, as well as putting JoE into a nutball tizzy. He poisons the water here every time he joins the conversation, makes some stupid derogatory comment, gets smacked down, then gets pissed and goes into personal attacks. Nothing new, just the same old broken record he's always been.
Oh, btw, Steve said he's got my commission check ready to go out, lol.

John Roberts every reply you made sounded like you took offense to having someone disagree with your evaluation...
Don't fret none about the personal attacks you made on me and others that replied.
I forgive you John Roberts because I realize someone has got to love the fat ugly women....
