Thank You gentlemen for the input. As it turned out the gun was bought by a friend at a big name gun store, for big money. Cody has not been helpful yet. The bottom line the gun is going back unless the store can come up with provenience (provenance)
take your pick.
Thanks again for your help final details will follow at a later date.
