It states that the bottom metal has been replaced,,,and I'd say that who ever engraved that wasn't anyone who engraved for Hoffman Arms.
What little of what I believe to be orig to the rifle/Hoffman engraving you can see at the muzzle of the bbl pic. That's all I see in the pics.
That small bit of scroll looks well done. Beyond that there isn't much to judge the (orig) engraving on or who did it.


I wonder if the whole rifle is something built around an orphaned Hoffman bbl.
They talk of a 'reprofiled' bbl.
"...Although reprofiled, the barrel is original as the date stamp is partially visible on either side of the ramp (the left number being a "5" and the right being a "2")...."

..A date stamp... one digit on either side of the front sight ramp??
I do see the '5' in the pic but admit I've never heard of such a date coding system. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

No pics of the action, engraving on it or the breech end of the bbl. No pics of the 'full coverage grip cap'.
4 pics for an $8750 gun..
