The S-coupling link (the s-shaped part that dangles below the toggle) is blued in the new photo set. This part should normally be 'in the white', un-blued. That it is blued is definitive proof of re-bluing.
Also there are no halos on the barrel serial; on this year there should be. All told, the evidence is definitive that this pistol has been refinished. However, it appears to have been a well done refinish and the pistol remains a handsome P 08.
