hi Gunsaholic

thanks for your comments. I restore firearms in Canada and am quite familiar with new case colouring and complete restorations, having done many British and American firearms, I specialize in Damascus barrel restoration. I work with a close friend of mine, Oskar Kob, up here and he does beautiful accurate case colour work. The Green receiver has not been redone. I actually found it hard to believe myself. But I can assure you its original. As well the barrel dimensions can be a good indicator of condition and they are excellent.
