I think it is just a piece of thread or lint that snagged on the grip and is soaked with gun oil... seems an unlikely place for a frame crack. No firing stress in that area.
Apparently our group can't come to a consensus on the finish without better photos or handling the firearm in person. All those who have spoken up are pretty well versed in determining whether a gun is refinished... yet we are split on the originality of the finish. Can we get better photos?
