Your opinion on this Artillery

The ear wearing arc between two safety positions is there. From the general apperance, this gun has not been shot or handled a lot but has been living in relatively humid env for long time and the arc is not very silver bright, and red background makes thing "bluer" in general. Pushing the safety up and down 10 times would erase the light patina on top of the "arc".

Area touch up is hard to id from photo. If you think there are some, could you pin point the area? For example, pix 10 might show sideplate being a little bit darker, but pix 9 from slight different angle shows side plate color being OK.

Assuming it deserves hand-on inspection, what will be the number? (a 85% 1917 with replaced magazine)
