I gave this a bit more thought while sleeping last night and here's an interesting comparison.
Michael's Wundhammer Michael started with a stock and the rest is his story. All or most of us looked at it as a great rifle, even if not "pure", because it brought back to life a classic work of art. Now all that would be needed to place the Griffin rifle into the positive "usable" side would be an action a couple of years older with a finish match done to the action. The original action could be bagged and set aside for the next caretaker. After thinking this over again I guess it probably wouldn't make a difference to most and would be "ok". I still wouldn't do it, but could understand if someone did.
There were no G&H markings on the rifle, as it is a pre &H Griffin.
Just another .02, pretty soon I'll have a whole dime in this!
