I inspected the gun today. If it was re-blued, they did a very nice job of it. It's a beautiful gun, but the comment above about the upper case K does concern me. The mag has the wooden bottom cover. I'm sure there is probably an official name for it.
These guns are too expensive to make a mistake and buy one counterfeit. I'm told it has been in the same family for 60 years.
About the halo, it only shows on the barrel stamps, not the rest of the gun. I wonder why.
So... is this a buy and what price? The seller is acting like this is the find of the century. Oh... it comes with a stamped 1914 holster. Certainly looks original. Thanks all for the insightful comments.
