That sounds right Lonnie and that is when the internal polish went away around n block! If the gun doesnt have ANY and mean ANY wear on the sideplate high spot or on the front sides of the rails or sides of the muzzle front, it is suspect. Take it out in the sun and look for oxidation under the bluing. Original bluing should have "some", it will appear like little brown areas that maynot be visible in indoor lighting! Thor
