I vote resto. I see parkerized pitting in the trigger housing, dents in the stock wood going under the buttplate (but a pristine buttplate), what appears to be barrel band marking on the stock's nose, ...
Could be wrong though
I also noticed the rough edges on the stock that did not correspond to any marks on the butt plate. I guess that is a sure indicator.
Does the cartouche look legit? The CC looks a little off.

I questioned the darkness in the guide way.
