Any opinions? Thx.

Can you provide a close-up picture?

Nope, it's on FB. Only picture I can see.

If you hold down the Ctrl key and scroll up or down with the mouse it should enlarge it. This guy could have at least asked permission to use this photo. I don't know what his problem is.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that once someone posts a picture on the Internet, it's basically a free-for-all. Anyone can take it and use it

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, I still can't see it clear enough to tell for sure. Cartouches that sharp are pretty rare. Here's a good post on the real ones. Maybe someone with better eye sight can make a better comparison.

I did not list this carbine for sale, just showing it off. I just don't know what he's trying to prove. If you could see the condition of this carbine, you would not doubt the authenticity of the cartouche. He's really got me ********ed off, never asked a question, just did this.

you said you were thinking of selling it, guy was probably gonna throw an offer at you and just wanted to verify the cartouche first

The Cartouche looks promising , But I would like to see a clearer picture before Id say one way or the other . Here are some examples to compare !
