The straw is pretty light to me but the mag release button looks blued on the left and strawed on the right. I tried the "Popscicle" test and it just tasted like metal to me,, no copper but I got a good laugh and a suggestive remark from the wife....{

The blueing looks pretty aged but I don't suspect a forgery, I didn't pay that much. I found several marks on the inside that I'll post photos of. I've looked through a lot of posts here and found no referance to interior marks.
I'm looking to sell this as I've been told by a few here that it's a collector and not a shooter. I just want to make sure that I'm not giving the impression of passing off a rework as original or selling a really rare piece for a low price. Even if it is a one-in-a-million I'd still sell it pretty low. I think it would be better appreciated in a true collectors hands rather than mine. I'll get back here later with those pics...... Thanks again everybody...
