New to me 1917 DWM

Hi Miles,
As an old sceptic I'm deeply uneasy about this gun, it's simply too good to be true. The blue is too blue the straw is too yellow, yet with one exception, all the red flags I look for are not present. The barrel serial numbers show halos, the receiver rails are properly "in the white" as are the muzzle and the small vertical pin in the rear toggle. The one exception? The firing pin should not be blued. On balance I'd give this gun a reluctant pass.
