I noticed the ones I pasted up had after market gaudy stocks and no checkering as well like yours
The checkering comes last....so it doesn't get glopped up with finish. I'm not surprised some people don't know that....about not glopping on finish and all.
OK, I concede to the voice of experience. Sometimes a "refinish" really does constitue butchery, as in the case of this "Almost a Virgin."
PA24 says "Here's a Sterlingworth with 99-100% FACTORY original colors and 99-100% FACTORY original blue made in 1929 - Philadelphia gun, I only refinished the wood......hard to find like this, but they are out there."
Well, they'll be even harder to find now. There
used to be one more high condition original SW out there
