I'm not familiar with what is correct for that one, so it's hard for me to judge.
The lettering is light, like it MIGHT have been buffed in a couple spots. Isn't the stamping normally pretty aggressive in those?
I figured if the wood had been redone, it would show dinks somewhere under the new finish, but it doesn't, and the color looks right.
It seems like every takedown you see that's seen any use at all the takedown metal is a different color than the rest, more wear.
There's a little wear near the muzzle, so I'm betting this one rode in and out of a case and that's it.
If it was correct, where are you going to find another for <$1600? Sucker's 100 years old! I shoulda bid...
