Before I would pay 4000.00 for any gun I would have more than the seller look it over.

I wouldn't trust the seller to the end of my arm. He's the seller. The voices here have told you we need pictures to give you an opinion. They're right. I personally have applied cosmoline to military rifles after the fact of manufacture so just because it has "The original grease"(says the seller) doesn't mean squat. Did you show it to Scott Duff, or are you fishing in the dark with him same as you are with us? Seems you are one of these that wants to hear what he wants to hear and that's all there is to it. So either show us with detailed pictures so we can determine originality and value or sell it with what you think you have now...
