Sounds too good to be true but that doesn't make it impossible. Unfortunately many unscrupulous individuals make replicas to pass off as real or take a real C96 and try to make it into a rare variety. Invest in a book about them and do some research. One must wonder how the guy seemingly didn't know what he had? That's always a red flag IMO. If you got a genuine AND unmolested broomhandle you did get a great deal. Good luck
