Holy cats man!! Is that wood factory?
Yeah, it's factory. This is their "Deluxe" grade but the wood is far better than any Deluxe I've seen. They make 3 grades: Standard with matte metal and plain wood, Deluxe with polished metal and upgraded wood, and the Fenice in their World Class line that has a nickeled receiver, engraving, gold inlays and exhibition grade wood. I've seen some wood on the Fenice guns that looked like it should have been on a Purdey, but I've also seen some with wood that was nowhere as good as this lower grade Deluxe. I'd have bought it even with plain wood because I wanted the discontinued English stock, but I felt pretty fortunate to get the wood as an added bonus!
