S/42 1938 Purchase Decision

I, for one, think that some much better photos are in order to determine if it is reblued.
Have you checked all the internals for matching numbers including the toggle pin and the inside numbers on the side plate?
$2500 is a last-man-out price and it had all better be right.

First let me welcome you to the forum it's good to have you as a member.
I agree with David completely, more photos at all angles are a must. Is the condition of the grips and bore commensurate with the condition of the outside of this pistol? It appears to be in almost mint condition therefor the bore and grips should also be nearly mint, assuming the grips are original. That price is at the very top of the scale so it would be a shame to find out after the fact that it has been re-blued or otherwise refurbished.
