Granted a 1908 LSA is a nice thing but I think someone paid a bit too much for a restored EY rifle. Or am I just cheap?

That was a lot...
I was watching that.... Holy crap! lol
DP is obscured through over stamping on action and barrel as well.
They sure did a number on that part too. usually it's just a linish by the professionals so you can see what was there. This total obscuration sets off bells because it's an obvious attempt to deceive.Quote:

That is pretty obviously a restored DP as mentioned, wow, just simply wow!
I would be a much richer man if I had no conscience...
The EY is cancelled out by the proper cancellation mark though. Its the DP thats been over struck by the 0 stamp that would have me thinking, along withe linished bolt SN. $2400+ I wouldn't think so!!
Yes, that's what I meant...Quote:

I was bidding on this one last month.A far better rifle.I did a pre bid of $1900.00 and lost out.I wanted it because I knew who had the matching bayonet!
pre-war MK III rifles don't exactly grow on trees.
