I agree with David. This gun has been reblued and has had odd things done to it;
- The takedown lever spring appears to be some kind of tiny roll pin?
- The middle toggle with the Erfurt Crown appears to have been heat treated, giving that exagerated plumb color.
- The back of the final toggle link has been tightly held in a vice at some point, (note the little vice tooth indentations along each side).

A nice pistol, but not a collector grade and worth about what David suggested.
