What would you say about this 42? Is it factory?

    that is an original winchester pattern for engraving and gold plate.
    it's impossible to tell if the bluing is original or the wood finish I would write the guy and feel him out. I have a hunch reserve is in the mid 6k range lots o cash

    It appears to be a very nice gun, but without better photos (or an in hand inspection), it is not possible to say with 100% accuracy if it is original factory engraving. On a potentially high dollar gun, it needs to be appraised by someone who knows his stuff.
