Bet it would respond well to some Ditzler Aircraft stripper and a refinish of your choice. The bid is $110 at the moment, would be a cheap way into a using double. That action turns up on many of the smaller production Italian guns, and if there is anything wrong with them I’ve never heard about it. It would appear the engraving was done by Grandma Moses, but, lots of Parker’s and LC Smith’s suffered the same fate.
Not in the market, myself, but, I had more time than money at one point. I still have a can of stripper, too. Hmm.
Best,
Ted

When I bought my Krag Sporter, somebody had painted the stock all black, trying for some tacticool look.The wood underneath was very pleasant to me, and not hard to remove with Walmart aircraft stripper.

I once won a Super X2 Sporting, at the NSCA GA State Sporting Championship. It had a red rubber coating over the entire buttstock and forend. I loaned it out to a friend for his wife to use, as I was already into O/Us. He kept it for about 10 years, during which time he divorced. One day it occurred to me I'd better see about getting it back, which I did. The red rubber had deteriorated into a sticky, gummy mess wherever hands had been on it in shooting. One day I decided to get rid of that mess with stripper, and found very plain wood, birch I think, underneath. I took it to a friend who is in the immersion graphic business to see what he could do for it. It now appears to be the fanciest burl walnut you ever saw, but with a funny reddish tinge. Much better looking than the old rubber mess. Had Phillip Crenwelge tune the trigger. It's a clay killing machine. Sometimes, when I'm shooting a charity event with soft targets, it gets the nod because of the choke tubes. Once shot a 100X100 with it at the GA Prison Wardens Shoot in Forsyth.
Go for it, Ted. There may be a princess hiding underneath that frog exterior.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Stan,
I need it like I need a hole in my head. But, there are younger, hungrier guys here that could use the experience as a stepping stone into the double gun realm. The price, at the moment, is right.
Best,
Ted

It's the perfect gun if you have a friend that has a big Cadillac and a Romanian track suit
