Just received the 29 Swiss I have been driving you nuts about. It seems to have a good deal of bluing missing - especially on a streak along the left side of the barrel and on the side plate. The toggle where the Swiss Cross is seems to be rather mottled in color. I have a terrible time with % blue. Seems to be very subjective. Simpson says it's 95%; I say 90. If it is 90 or between 90 and 95, what would this do to value? It has a P-45 on the front of the frame and the P on the side rail is over the original proof. Right now, I think I'll send it back. Help???
