So, how many of you are dead nuts certain that you can tell if an all original gun has never been disassembled? Do you know for absolute certain that a really professional gunsmith has not, with the extreme care they are known for, removed those screws at some point in it's, let us say, 110 year "life".
Before you answer "Yes, I'm certain I can", ask yourself this .............would I bet everything I have on my being correct, would I bet my life?"
Even the best of the experts are wrong sometimes. Hacker Martin guns fooled more than one. We see so much buggered up gun work that we sometimes forget just how good a true professional can be.
Unturned screws? My answer is "Don't bet on it". What say ye?
