That goes to show you, look very close, magnify pictures when possible and look close. It doesn't look like he swapped the major parts, but might have cleaned and re-parked some. Still has the rear and front sight (I assume) from the RIA auction, the stock I don't know because of the lack of photos from RIA auction. Very nice restoration, probably not the real deal. I've been wrong before, but I think the rear sight and type 1 band are authentic, but then again, I can only go by the pictures. I agree with Chip, I would have to have it to see in my hands to ease my mind. I would like to thank Brian, for researching that carbine, it took some time and effort to do so. Brian just for my satisfaction, in your opinion, could you tell us yea or nea on the Barrel Band and Rear sight. You don't have to put details, just yea or nea. Thanks again...Rusty
