What Makes A US Test Eagle...?

I don't believe the gun to be reblued. The wear pattern looks pretty honest from the holster...i.e all the correct places from where it would have rubbed when it was placed there and removed. Seems like they would have blued those parts as well when and if they did the rest of the piece? Can't be sure about the holster. The patina on the copper rivets seems to have invaded the leather in such a way as is only possible with age, but then....it is in awfully good shape. I can send more pics if necessary. Tom
