    a Z prefix, correct scope, 1903-A4 for $1300 comes to mind unfortunately... and then there was that M41B...

      Irving Texas gun show about 1988. Walked up to a table and saw a WWII Winchester Model '97 trench gun in mint condition for $700. Varnish on the wood perfect. Bright blue. All correct markings. Told myself it was clearly refinished all over. Could not be original. Walked away.

      After I got educated I started kicking myself. Felt better when I found its identical twin 20 years later and happily paid several times that price.
