Ted,
I don't disagree that it is a refinish, just observing that it is a really good job. I do stand corrected about the barrel. To these old eyes the proof looked like a DWM, but now that you have posted an example, it does look like the usual Erfurt barrel. Oh well, guess I should stop trying to assess what I am seeing in pictures, just don't seem to be as keen as I once was.
