At the risk of disagreeing with a great guy like Norme, I am pretty sure that the gun has not been refinished. There is a halo around the bore gauge and I think around the barrel serial number (although it is difficult to tell with that silly black dot), and it has a pronounced "toggle slap" at the rear of the frame. I think that the apparent lack of "in the white" appearance of the holdopen pin is the result of age darkening since the contour of the frame and the installation "proof" are so sharp.
At any rate, original or possibly refinished long ago, it is a nice gun and not "just a shooter".
