For one the sight looks counterfeit to me. There is beat marks on the sight that would indicate it has been at least moved if not replaced (forget the finish match). It could be the light or the way the photo was taken but it doesn't look real to me. I've not seen an Inland barrel on an S'G' that has that much "Inland" hieroglyphics on it and the wear on it doesn't match the wear on the rest of the carbine. The slide has no wear where the receiver does. I've been wrong about finishes before but it doesn't look right to me. The finish between the barrel and receiver isn't even close. Not a hard fast indicator but..... Sorry, it just doesn’t look right to me.
USGI, the bolt rear end looks really bad in the one photo that shows the rear sight.
PS yes it could have had the hammer from the gate doubtful but yes.

Here's a glimpse of the bolt in the photo that Bill was talking about Bob.

Over $1700 and 12 days to go! Am I seeing a Type III band shadow in this picture - and does the head of the band screw have an odd shape to it? - odd C-tip crimp on the sling, too. - Bob

The cartouche was what caught my eye the most. I have seen that one before on a humped up gun that I asked one of the more senior guys about and he told me to stay away. I don't have an S'G' but I do have an IP and this is its stock below.
The finishes just don't seem to match on any of that S'G'. Looks to be done with mostly correct parts to me, but before I would spend big money I would ask on that one. I almost screwed up last week on a UW before one of the more knowledgeable guys said back off on that one.
I sat and looked at it for a while then it caught my eye what was wrong. Now the bidder who bought the UW is the high bidder on this one. He bids up a lot of items but buys very few. ( thanks to pointing that out to me also! )
I would steer clear of this one myself.
