No Dustin, not re-cut.....the top gun above is an LC Ideal Grade...and the bottom is the SW Philly both with factory checkering....showing the refinished wood without finish in the checkering for Sparky up above ......
I have a field grade 16 LC that the original buyer in 1931 purchased with upgraded wood and 20 LPI checkering.....and lettered as such........just like today, you can order pretty much what ever you want if you have the money....these companies were all in business to make money......so step right up......sign here........collectors sometimes think everything is cast in concrete...well, it is not as most of you know........
Some more refinished wood...all factory checkering....SW forearm is the one on the left with a piece of lint on it....
