Pete,
Unless there is damage, it is not necessary to remove metal for restoration, just remove the old blue and a *very* light sanding to restore "grain" and remove residual oxidation. Also, most of the points that Alvin made about #14 are directed at the frame, the barrel receiver may not have been refurbished. Notice the domed appearance of the internal portions of the crowns, the B and the U. If they had received any extensive refinishing there would be some flat spots, so I will accept that the barrel/receiver may very well be DWM original. I don't think the three "dots" are of any consequence, handling marks that small could happen at any time during final finishing and not necessitate any remedial action.
