I am thinking of buying this one. The current owner who owns a number of 99s says that the gun looks correct to him despite the mismatch in color. What does the crowd say?

Curious to see if anyone else noticed this. Thanks.

How much is mismatched wood, and how much is poor lighting/photography? Digital cameras can do some weird things. I'd ask for better pictures, maybe outside, were I interested.
