I do understand that irrefutable evidence is required for qualified opinions from experts on this site and would expect no less.

So, here’s another attempt at getting better camera angles after experimenting with lighting and removing the china marker as best I could without scrubbing.

The halos around the numbers and metal displacement clearly showing stamping after bluing as much more evident. Bluing is 100% original.

Also tried to capture better detail on the grip checkering which also serial match the gun as well as other angles of the frame. Straw is showing actually greater than 80% in these photos. Must be the lighting.

I have nothing to gain by misrepresenting anything claimed here as I’m not selling and expect this to be my son’s someday.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
