hello all, I have a proposition- would those interested rate these two’ against each other’? I know the one on guns international has already been in a thread- but I am just wondering which of these two would sort of ‘win’ when it comes to the more experienced collectors. It’s meant to be a fun thing and not to trash one gun or the other, just two guns I have been comparing for a little while and thought others might want to weigh in. 

Thanks in advance

Not spending much time looking at the 2 guns or trying to find the other thread.  I would pick the GI gun.  Seems in better condition.  I do not track the value of these non antique guns.  When I mean tracking I mean at gun shows not online sites.

Condition-wise, I like the one on Guns International better.

May be lighting but the blue seems much better on the GI gun. Wood seems to be better as well. The GB gun may be had for significantly less money but the GI gun may be a better investment.
