The grips on your pistol are not original.
For the pistol with the complete set of case and accessories, your cost was reasonable.

Sucks about the grips. Do you think the bluing is original?
Any ideas on the rust mitigation? Should I just leave it, or shoudl I try to polish with brass wool
Below is the best I can do picture wise. Its really hard to tell if it's overstamped or something
