That, and the pristine interior of the holster. Bill can probably see even more tells. I don't remember this from when originally posted, but the surfaces of the upper and toggle train might have been bead blasted. A final lick with a smooth file doesn't leave steel with this surface. Minty-looking, sure, but actually minty... I'm a little skeptical. Was bead blasting as a prep for a production finish something Mauser ever did?
