Is this a factory or aftermarket custom ?

Doing my usual Ebay search for 305's and still looking for an American eagle 525 at a good price and I came across something I've never seen before.


Is this 2003 525 a factory custom or aftermarket?

It reminds me of Wild Bill Cody work..

Maybe.

Now that I think about it, does the fact that it doesn't have a custom shop tang stamp point to it being aftermarket ?

That was my first thought; but I am hardly an authority on such things.

Yeah I certainly know basically nothing about the custom shop and things like that.

Look at the frame shape of these WBC LEs. It could be a build out for a factory sale or a lunch box special, that started with a left over frame from the WBC run.
