1906 AE question

[Doug]

Thanks to everyone for their observations. I think that I need to clarify a few things. First off the color difference between the barrel and the receiver is in the photo only. It was taken at night with a fluorescent light. As for the blue I do not doubt that it original as it is the same color as my 1908 commercial it also has the same polish. Besides this all the markings are very crisp under a 10x loop. The serial number puts it in the correct block for a 9mm and the extractor is marked â??loadedâ?� and also matches the last two digits. If this gun has been restored it was done by a professional. Anyway What I am really asking is how much to deduct for the miss-matched grip panel. Kenyonâ??s book lists the grips as either being numbered to the gun or blank. The mag doesnâ??t bother me so much as it was also produced with a blank bottom.

Thanks

Doug
