The barrrell is nice twist damascus but way overcleaned. The barrell bands and a few other pieces of the furniture look new bazaar work. I can not tell if stock is new from these pics. I have seen some of these coming out of afghanistan the last few years most of them have been cobbled together out of a mix of old and new pieces. Stay away from items with a lot of sheet brass.
