Here’s one I’ve been waiting to see for 2.5 years. The seller didn’t state the engraving as original and I don’t believe it is, but I like it.

Definitely, I’ll end up with it one way or another. Just waiting patiently until he seems fully comfortable in the belief that it’s definitely not original and my offer is fair.

Beautful engraved 61 whether original or not.  Looks like it has a checkered stock. Could the checkering on the stock be original?

I would ask Pauline what she thinks of the engraving. It could be worth asking her opinion.

Pauline is of the opinion that it is not factory.

The buttstock has been non-factory checkered. No question at all about that. Which adds to my initial belief that the engraving is aftermarket. 

The forearm is original and correct.
