Indeed, though I can't claim mine is in original condition due to the stock having been replaced, it's unfortunate because it was a war time produced weapon..Easy way to tell a fake from a legit model is pull the front hand guard and the barrel should have lightening cuts... No cuts means you have a No.4 that has been faked.. I actually wanted one of the Gibbs "No.5" but they are almost equally the cost of a legit rifle..
