Dang! That's gorgeous late 4 screw/early bright blue finish. In other words it's early enough that it has the 4 screw sideplate feature but just late enough to have the newer improved glossy finish replacing the post war satin finish that these models started with.
It's the finest period for these Model of 1953s from a collector standpoint IMO.
