i just got my byf 43 f. the locking block, the cocking piece, v-spring(original blue), limit stop pin, and firing pin lock are still in the white. the numbers all match, no pits, dings or scratches. and the grips are beautiful marbleized red mahogony. and no import mark. any chance this gun has been dipped?

Tom,

If the barrel locking pin has any blue on it, the gun is dipped. You may want to remove the block and slide the pin back and forth as one end may have blue and the other not.
