I have actually handled the gun 2 times. It has some pitting on the outside of the barrels about 3 to 4 inches from the muzzles. It had sat in a case somewhere and pitted. The bores are really good and if my memory serves me well, the engraving is okay even if it isn't really sharp. They started the price at about way too high, ($14,500.00) and it is now getting better. The gun balances well and it is hard to find better these days in Alaska.

Please remember I am pretty much a newbie when it comes to DR. (My disclaimer)

Bob is about as good as they come at GNG where the gun is listed. He is a salesman, and I do not think he would make any misrepresentations.
