Original gold inlay

Post by AAHESpecial »

Even with Tom Kidd's excellent DGJ articles, it's hard to determine original factory Fox gold inlays-for me at least.

So-if its not in the factory letter-

What are some guide lines?

If you own the gun, the inlay is factory original. If someone else owns the gun, especially if you are interested in buying it, the inlay's originality is in doubt.
