FN,

Wow, thanks for the info. I'll post a WTB about the spring. I can't see any see fibers in the screw holes (in the frame), but the divots (?) on the backs of the grips that don't go all the way through seem to have fibers. I'd be interested in trading the grips for a more correct set or even a correct magazine, but I'm not sure if mine are worth anything or not.

The finish is a mystery to me as well. If anyone else has heard of or seen anything like this one I'd love to know.

I think I would eventually like to have this pistol professionally restored. It doesn't need to be collector grade for it to hold value for me and mine. You guys have been great so far, and I really look forward to everyone's observations and opinions.

Regards,

Sapper
