1908 Navy, Need Help on Purchase Decision

Hi Glenn,
I don't see any red flags in the 2 photos posted, HOWEVER, that means very little!
Here are some questions:
1/ What is the serial number? There is a good chance that this is a known gun and it is already on the Navy List.
2/ All 1908 Navies, without exception, should have clearly visible halos on the barrel's serial numbers.
3/ The small vertical pin visible as a small dot on top of the left side toggle should be white, not blued over.
4/ The muzzle too should be "in the white".
If you need photos so you know what to look for, let me know, I'll post them for you.
Regards, Norm
