It' a skill to be learned. Take an original finish gun of similar vintage if you or a friend have one, put it side by side, and compare all sharp edges, side plate seam, color of bluing and crispness of all rollmarks and stampings.
Obvious telltales on this gun:
1. Blued hammer and trigger
2. Stocks very worn but with 100% blue finish intact
3. Pin on left frame side in front of top of stocks polished flat instead of domed on a pre war gun.
$800? Borderline price for me w/o seeing person. Worth twice that or more with original finish in that condition.
