Just another 1908 commercial

For what it's worth, I have a 1908 commercial serial number 69157 with hold open pin machined and blued with the frame. This could have been done after leaving DWM as this gun was put into police service as attested to by the installed sear safety. The bluing is a rust blue finish and I assume it is either original or done when the gun was refurbished before going into police service. I doubt this piece will shed much light given the uncertainty of refurbishing but you may know better.

Thanks,
Bob M.
