My opinion of this gun has not been based on the maker or the grade....I don't see any file marks made by Scott truth is you can't discern years of corrosion and abuse from any original work on this gun.

What ticks me off is the guy posted the gun thinking he had bought a piece of crap...been there and done that. Then all the fantasy gun dreamers (that from proof of their posts don't know their azzez from a hole in the ground) pop out of the rotting woodwork trying to convince the guy to shoot the piece of crap.

Like I said if the fellow can't get his money back his best bet would be to salvage what he could and move on....Platinum is pretty pricey.
