Note the sight bolster on the barrel. The edges are soft, as are the corners of the dove-tail, and exhibit no high edge wear, or machine marks.

The rest of the pistol has very crisp sharp edges, with high edge wear and shows machine marks. IMO, it's a machinist created after market barrel, which was buffed and blued. A made up pistol, and not original.

I would consider it a $400 shooter...
