Indeed, it does have sideclips. But I am just taken aback that all the pins would be faked? I guess the absence of the retaining screw on the right lock hints to a sideplated? I'd like to see the lockwork. Hum, sure not what it seems on the surface. I guess if a retailer would scrub off the marks, they would also fake the pins. Also the initials near the forend hanger look to be overstamped. If it is as stated, it needs to be added to the pin/peg thread.

Kind Regards,
