Neil:
I was looking more at the sideplate. Most that I have seen show some tool marks but that one has an even frosty look. Maybe a cast replacement?
Also on the right side (second photo) of the gun the entire frame looks blasted to me, sort of a satin blue. Certainly not the same as the top of the toggle, etc.
The finish on this gun sort of reminds me of the Interarms Parabellum guns.
Now maybe I'm just not up to speed on the Mauser Banner guns.
It is very nice and easy to look at!
