Geo. I think you need to have it engraved like a A1 Special.

There are so many upgraded or refinished Winchesters on the market I go into the deal thinking any graded or high condition example is one. Then work to prove its real. When in doubt pass.

I wont pay true value for a genuine high grade gun no matter how good the upgrade is. But to me a upgrade is just a fancy gun not rare in the least way.
