Default It's mine!

So I bought the pistol today. Made a deal with the owner and he dropped his price to $950. Looked over it again and maybe the finish isn't as good as I thought. But still conservatively speaking at least 85 to 90%. When it arrives from California I will post some pics and you can give me your opinions on the finish. So the serial number is 72472. It looks to be a transitional model from what people have told me. It has the 4 line address mark and the humpback hammer from what I can tell. This gun has been used a bit but has the original finish on it. A little brown discoloration on the backstrap but does not look like rust and I don't see pitting. It almost looks like someone tried staining the grips without taking them off. I am pretty sure they didn't actually do that but that is how I can describe what I see. Anyway, thanks for the info. I am looking forward to posting some pics.
