I bought this 1950 270 wcf and the seller claims it to be original, but the white inlay stripe makes me question it. Can someone help?

The DOM checks out to 1950.

Thanks Skinner.... I guess the other concern is that it doesn't say Super Grade on the drop plate like I have seen others have. Did some Supers not hav this done? Also. It doesn't have the usual checkering...

Also, notice the stock seems to be squared off at the receiver? I haven't seen that before, I know weatherbys are like that.

Super Grades had a specific checkering pattern that was used.

So P Muerrle, what do you think I have here?
I paid $800 for this gun and just want to know what I have and if I paid too much.

After some study, I'm thinking its an after market Fajer stock. How much does that kill the value?

Wood looks to be after market but very nice. I don't do values. If the right person comes along he may pay good money without the wood being original if that's what he likes.

I am surprised at the non committal responses.
That IS a non original stock.
And $800 with those drilled side mount holes is too much
