In the picture showing the top of the toggle, the axle retaining pin looks to be in the white. So is the safety bar.
Are those good indicators that it hasn't been refinished?
Jim, when you take the pictures, try to find flat even light. Don't use your flash because it ends up washing out highlights of the finish. I made a light box using a white sheet as a diffuser.
This site and others have some good ideas...
