don , to me it looks better than the full stocked one you have that is engraved from the factory ,it is most definetly in original condition , no reblue or anything and the engraving is exceptional , and a nicer caliber .i looked at the listing at amoskeag ,but the shitty real estate market is putting a damper on my toy money right now ..good luck with it..... btw,i dont know if you get my emails or not but you have an open invite to come by and see a few things i have.

good luck with it ..paul
