Hey Tim and Doc...!
It's a damned nice 1937!!! Go to the auction - and click on the sellers picture page. It appears that the sideplate was mis-mounted for a few of the photos - but I suspect nothing happened to the finish at all...
In looking at the photos - everything is there, and properly proofed. The MAG looks correct in proof and numbering as well. The only small thing that I can pick up is the the seller description of the rear sight being a "U", and as noted in the photo. It should be a "V", but I've seen several rear sights with a "U" - and have no idea who made the mod...
The "thumb-print" is there as well - but not the reflected area - look are the darker tone AROUND the reflected area - that is the "thumb-print", which is evident (you can also note the hardening on the toggle ramps at the frame)).
With the proper matched mag and based on condition - this one will probably ring in at, or over, the $3900+ bell at auction...
