[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3398059, member: 8363"]Better picture of the underside. And details of arms. The repair to one arm is obvious. The first three photos are the original crack, the side of this arm with a nail hole below the wooden peg (nothing on the other side) and the place where the arm is inserted into the back. The second group of two photos is of the points on the other arm which caused someone to think it was replaced. The main reason I can see is in the last photo that shows where the arm is inserted into the back chair. It looks like the surface was chipped here. The interior peg is slightly raised on this arm too. The refinishing of the chair is very poor and uneven with pieces having thicker amounts of colored varnish/urethane and drips everywhere. So differences in color couldn't in my estimation be used as a parameter. I don't know if it would be a good thing to clean some of this up.
