If someone is curious as to why the paint is more worn on the port (right) sidethan on the other. This is usually an indication that it was probably stored on that particular side on a shelf, possibly in a hunting shack. Over time, the one side tends to show more wear marks than the other.As Paul Harvey would say,\"andI now you know the rest of the story\". Just thought I\'d throw that in there. Good luck with your offerding!
