i wonder when it was refinished then, as i understand it, it has never been refinished since the 1940's, and been held in storage since then. a friend, from his experiences with mostly colt revolvers, has mentioned that it doesn't appear to be rounded and stampings and edges are still "flat where flat and round where round", whatever that means. honestly i'm not much of an older firearm person, my personal arms are generally the more modern offerings, but i know quality when i see it.

thank you everyone. i think i'll tell the insurer $1500 and split the difference, unless that's too low. i find the pricing from simpsons ltd and others to be inconsistent.
