Definitely a classic cracked frame. The ejector also doesn't look right to me. Either it is a highly modified factory original or a home-built replacement. Both of these factors (cracked frame, non-original ejector) indicate heavy usage and are detrimental to collector value. I think his starting price would be about $1,000 too high for the same heavily used gun without the cracked frame. I'll wager that there won't be any valid bidders on the gun.
