Pretty gun; particularly like the stock. The seller claims the case colors (Jaspage) are original or a well done remake. Any comments on the case colors?

i spoke for this gun this morning....will be interesting to have it in hand. seller says it is quite pretty, and in fine condition. he is a lefty, and it has something approaching 1/2" of cast-off - said he was considering sending it to mike orlen, with a request to try for 1/4" cast-on....i told him that would be a pretty tall order for a small wristed stock. ended up agreeing on $950 for the gun.

best regards,

tom

The images are gone from those threads, so here's the real thing for Forum members genuinely interested.

Note the "ghosting" around the pins.
