Does anyone else think that this rifle is a potential forgery? I think at least the stock is.
You can see what looks too be wood putty in front of the trigger guard to cover up old cartouches and the FJA stamp looks completely fake. Like someone sanded the stock and tried to make the markings pop out again so restamped the cartouches by hand.
Also, the serial number looks like it was potentially engraved. I know that the Z was added after the fact because there were some repeats in the serial number when the rifles where produced.
The seller states that it is "roughed stamped" as determined by a local expert.
