Ok, I will tell you that it has been refinished as Toggle Top has noted. When I first looked at this pistol it was hard to tell. The restorer (owner) refinished it and then rubbed it with a piece of soft leather to give it some wear. I noticed a few things that Ted picked up on. When you look at the B|90 mark on the barrel with a 10x loop it is quite evident that it was engraved. The magazine is a tough call, as it does not look like is have been ground and restamped. The owner told me that it was a rust bucket when he got it. I think I can get it for $1000, but am not sure if it is worth it.
