What to look for to determine re-furbishing

I looked very carefully at that same gun last month with the intent to purchase it. It looks to be original finish to me. Only a hands on exam will tell for absolute sure. The grips are unnumbered as I recall so they are probably replacements. Same with the firing pin. They broke so often in the field they issued a spare with every gun! Still a nice gun and I would have it in my collection if it came my way!
