The gun has been both buffed and reblued. There are too many rounded edges which should be sharp.
The small parts have also been blued, and should be strawed.
The numbering on the takedown lever is not the same font as the rest of the gun, most likely a replacement.
The chamber area has been scrubbed before the "flaming bomb" stamp was applied.
I see no evidence of a suffix letter on the frame in the photos.
The muzzle is blued and not in the white
There appears to be a buffed down import mark on the bottom of the barrel above the third "flaming bomb" stamp.
The magazine markings are 'interesting' but I don't think that the mag has anything to do with the gun except feed cartridges.
This gun is just a shooter grade example IMHO. $600-$800. Certainly not what the seller is asking.
Just my $0.02
