				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?

				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
