Bob, perhaps you could do a simple test on your gun to determine the originality of the finish. With a very strong flashlight look at the blue and see if there is any redness under the blue? The more the better. Also if you look at the "GERMANY" import mark do you see a halo around it? Maybe it's the pictures, but the blue looks a tad dark to me. All my Imperial guns have a soft blue gray look to them.
