You have to wonder when the point of diminishing return is reached by forgers of pieces like this .

Where would stuff like this be manufactured ?

So Cerjak,

Were any parts original, or was the entire thing a forgery?

I'm glad to hear you will be able to recover the cost of your purchase from the auction house, and please include myself among the list of those grateful for your efforts to share the journey with the rest of us...

I'm gun shy (pun intended) when it comes to pulling the trigger (ditto) on antique firearms at an auction. I know for a fact I've let good money pass me by on more than one occasion in my effort to make sure I never thrown bad money after one, because if you buy a bum gun at one of the area houses, the only context under which you get to return it is if you re-consign it.
