This is a fascinating thread for me. I am learning so much from our discussion and the good pics.

I notice all the screws, save one, appear to be without color. The trigger guard shows wear not commensurate with the case color. Some of the screws show evidence that they have been removed and the barrel flats show wear also not commensurate with the cc.

The finish on the stock is commensurate with the cc and has been redone IMHO.

Beautiful gun, C.J.

So many guns, so little time!
