Agree. I am not interested in mint pistols, military or otherwise. I don't see that many in the high 90% range and therefore don't have much of a baseline to evaluate if the finish is original. They invariably carry a big price tag and the chance for fraud is simply too great. The only exception would be if purchased from an impeccable source with the experience and knowledge to evaluate finish, and the integrity to honestly describe it.
