I saw this gun prior to the engraving and the wood replacement. I do believe it was original. I tried to talk the man into leaving it alone, but he wanted it fully engraved. the fences were engraved and there was a smattering of engraving on the sidelocks. A shame the gun was touched, it needed to be kept original. I have no idea how, or when the barrels were made, but at a careful observation it fit all too well to be anything but correct
