Hi Norm. The gun's been refinished so the 'halo' test is redundant. The witness marks are aligned, normal army proofs, consistent font type throughout gun, no 9mm on barrel, just the usual 8.82, no export / import marks.

I'll try to get some pictures, but the more I think about it the more convinced I am that it got 'lost' in refinishing. The intriguing part is the usual pieces that show metal loss due to pit removal, (like the sideplate), are very crisp !
