I looked at the pictures of the collection of Classics which are for sale. A few seem a little questionable to me. For example picture 19 does not seem to be NIB condition. Several do not seem to have the satin finish. I've owned a few and do not remember these discrepancies.

The only one I have left is a .220 Swift. This is the only Swift I've ever owned and have no plans to get rid of it.

As a personal thing I no longer think of them as a Classic if they are changed out of the factory stock or have the barrel shortened. To each his own.
