Jack, you had mentioned in an earlier post that the finger grip was well done. It really is. The whole handle screams shop done as far as quality is concerned. According to Bob Gaddis, as mentioned by Joe Dorsky,

"Gaddis mentions that the canvas brown micarta was difficult to finish on the model 14 and 15 when doing the finger grip area because it had the propensity to chip and fray during final polish. Apparently Bo sought out different micarta?s until he found one that worked best which included at least three types of brown and ultimately ended up using black"

If it wasn't for the spacer color sequence and the unusual butt cap, I wouldn't even question it.
I feel that this one was custom ordered and shop done.
