There's some confusion here. I think the gun you're talking about may be one of the post-war West German-made guns. If so, it should say either "Made in West Germany" and/or "Eckernforde" on the barrels. If he's comparing it in quality to a Royal (also a post-war gun), that would make sense. In the post-war guns, the Model 60 was the basic gun, DT and extractors. 60E was the same gun with ejectors. The photo I have does not show a scalloped receiver (which does show on the photo I have of a Royal--both from an old Shooter's Bible), but I'm guessing this is the gun you're talking about. If so, they're pretty solid guns. Quite a few 60's I've seen seem to have minor problems with the wood right behind the receiver. Usually just surface cracks, wood lifting away from the metal. Pretty easy fix for a decent stock guy.
