Hello Bob,
Based on the additional images which you have provided, it appears that this pistol has received some very professional 'cosmetic' enhancements. As I have mentioned to some fellow collectors on this forum, a pistol has to show a certain degree of consistency between the surface wear, the degree of fading, and the patina which your pistol does not totally show. Nonetheless, you have a very good 1908 Bulgarian which might be worth keeping in your collection if you paid a reasonable price.
Now you need a M1900 and a M1906 Bulgarian to make a set!
Good luck,
Albert
