Clearly it has been refinished. S&W did not plate hammers and triggers so when you see this it's a sure bet the gun has been refinished (and poorly).

The barrel has been cut. The front sight re-installation looks a bit crooked.

This gun has been listed on GB for quite some time, going unsold and then relisted at a lower price until it reached a level where it was cheap enough to draw bids.
