Nice looking, but I agree with' S99VG' that it looks like wood filler behind the tang and I believe the seller knows it's not a Stith as in the wording "Stith type" (as 'Lightfoot' posted) to grab attention to a bidder/buyer. Play 'on wording'! Buyer beware I guess! As 'dallased' posted, BS-er's abound at gun shows deceiving the uniformed. I have a life long friend that is into firearms only buying and shooting, not much into the history of brands/models that is a real sucker for those guys. He's always telling me what "so and so" told him at a recent gun show which may times is nothing but 'carnival barker' BS. Anyway.......!
