1906 -Is this real or 'enhanced'

At the risk of disagreeing with the above reviews, I think the gun is good and in very nice condition. The barrel proofs are absolutely authentic showing well defined proper halos. The frame ears and grip straps do exhibit "freckling" but I do not believe there is evidence of it being reblued, just some pitting due to improper care/storage.
The only problem that I see that you might encounter is if the reserve is set unrealistically high.
