Too much of a job, but again its something I would have done
It's hot the original 6061 sticker on the seat tube but again it could be a new one.
I'd have bought it if it was smaller

However - the frame number on any GT frame made in the Taiwan (i.e. Pantera that we might suspect in this case) begins with a letter not month/year numerals. Frames made in Huntington Beach, California have frame numbers beginning with month/year numerals.
My Zaskar has no 6061 stamp, and the frame number starts 0491 - which bears that ^^ out.
edit: The frame you're interested in looks totally identical to mine, so I'd say it's definitely a Zaskar.
