I believe Alvin and Tac are correct. I believe it has been reconditioned, unfortunately. I hadn't noticed that area under the back of the upper frame, you have good eyes Alvin. I had noticed a little bit of pitting on the right side of the frame just above the trigger, that's why I had questioned the bluing. It was probably done several years ago, because it looks to have some age to it.
Well, like you say, it is still a nice looking piece, just a high dollar shooter, I suppose.
Thanks guys, I'll just have to pay more attention and use a light and some magnification on the next on. After looking at it more closely using a light and some magnification. I can see a lot to indicate that it has been re-blued.
