Thank you everyone who has posted so far
and for the record yes i did buy it as an intended shooter, i realized the nickel plating would lower it's value, but at the same time i like nickel plated guns, also i thought it was still a good buy seeing the parts were all original and knowing that no mixed junk parts could chance being in it. and as for the grips, yes they did come with the original black plastic grips, however i took them off for the value they have and locked them in a safe. now the gun sports some rather cheap looking wood grips, but only till i find a better set this weekend at the gunshow in muncie
