Yes, the grip and much of the barrel show a reddish patina under a bright light.

Unfortunately, I forgot that I had rubbed it with grease the night before I took the pictures so It looks very shiny in the photographs. I'll try to wipe it down and see if I can take more pictures. The serial starts with 45 which is the same as stamped inside the plate. Don't know why I didn't connect the dots, but what you're saying is that they should be one count off of each other correct?

Thanks.
