The "semi-crowned" top strap, where the fixed rear sight is located in a groove running the length of the top strap, has been milled off for some reason! A tiny remainder of the groove shows on the front slope of the top strap.
Wow! Why would anyone do that? Why would anyone pay that kind of money for such a damaged, altered gun? Wow!
Thank you JudgeColt, I was starting to get worried about mine. This altered, wrong grips, rusted was bid close to a grand. What had me worried was that there was 36 bids on it from multiple people. You would have thought someone knew about the top strap.
Ignorance is VERY expensive. And then there is stupidity.....
