The inspection and proof marking on the left chamber are soft,
and the whole pistol is too uniform in finish/polish-I see none of the usual finishing/tooling marks that are different from one area to another.

I agree that great care and minimal work was done to this one, but the edges are not sharp, and the stamping s are very slightly dished-JMHO.
