He couldn't stand to look at it, and I bought it for a substantial discount.

The craftsmanship is fantastic, but the lawyers must have been at work, as it has a rebounding hammer and a safety, which spoils the authenticity.

But...it is a beautiful gun (even with the ding), and I am happy to have it. I also have the current iteration of the Browning .22 semi auto rifle, formerly made in Belgium, and now made by Miroku. It is also a very nicely made and finished little gun.
