OK, maybe I can clear up some physical aspects. The SN is 7554. It appears on the frame and barrel. "54" also appears on the rear of the toggle, below the rear sight and on (what I assume to be) the takedown lever. I thought I saw a small 54 near the feedramp, but it wiped off with a patch (oops!). I have not broken it down, not being familiar with the design. The witness marks between the barrel and frame appear correct (ie original barrel). There is some shiny metal near the rear of the extractor. I would almost guess that it were silver soldered, but that is just a guess. "Straw/off-gold" color appear on the trigger, takedown lever and pin and along each side of the "bolt".
Like I have told some, I have no financial interest in this gun. I'm just trying to help out a friend. If someone is interested, please e-mail me your contact info and I'll pass it along to the owner and let him contact you. It is not my intent to use this site to conduct an auction, but I was looking for info and thought some of you might be interested.
