The white is a cosmetic add-on, it didn't leave the factory with it. It can sometimes cover up evidence of pantograph-applied or hand engraved characters which are not original. The proof marks on the right side of the frame are verrry shallow, maybe because the surface was worked down by a refinish. This strikes me as a gun that needs to be examined in-hand to get the right clues to confirm or deny authenticity.
