I was lucky to find a nice one before they became too expensive. I don't think it has been used much at all, no markings on the brass disc (unissued?), great condition and still has a dab of what appears to be factory grease on the barrel.

And regarding Rich's comment about the "styling": Once you take it apart, you'll find that the shape of the gun is mostly determined by the inner workings. There is not much excess steel at all, for example the section that covers the barrel is like a thin wall steel tube. It's so thin that it makes you wonder how they could even machine it without distorting or collapsing it. It's a fairly large gun and it looks like it would weigh a ton, but it's actually not heavy at all.
