elmer keith could inspect a mcdonalds cheeseburger, that doesn't mean it'll be worth more than it's actual value of 99 cents. unless you are familiar with elmer keith and inspectors proofs in the first place, few would even know or care who keith was and less would know what OGEK stands for.

also regardless of whether woodrow wilson himself inspected this rifle, it has a rusted out bore and missing receiver screw, repairable damage to be sure but not something that is easy to find original parts for anymore.
