In person it matches pretty well. The forearm is covered in bold mineral streaks which makes it darker. The front tip of the forearm has an ebony insert like the earliest C grades and up had. Here is a picture of the forearm post checkering, but prior to having the thinned finish applied to the checkering :

Beautiful gun. Enjoy carrying that one!


With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.
