Could be wrong, but I think it has been refurbished.

I have watched his auctions for a while and some always seem to have some help. He sells alot of pre 64 parts on eBay and I think this had some refinishing. As a side note, earlier this week I checked all his auctions, and as usual, the same bidder was bidding up all pieces....

zjimmy has never won tdail, jtd auctions either??? Check his feedback.

A 1954 is the easiest of all Supergrades to fake as well. The metal is NO different from Standards.

Didn't know that. No S on recoil lug or SUPER under chamber in 54?

I think the gun in question has had at least the bolt reblued. I've also never seen a SG that didn't have at least some separation in the finish where forend cap meets walnut. So for me I'm nearly certain the bolt and stock have been messed with.

You have good eyes, but it is not re-blued. The process is called air-dry ceramic coating. Here is good example......

Very nice finish. I would add about $100 to estimated price of that wonderful Winchester gun.
