I'd guess that a previous owner polished that 5903 to within an inch of its life. There are threads here about how to restore a finish, or at least how to make it less shiny.
Even polished like that, it's a nice gun.

Thanks all for you insights. I'm fairly new to S&W pistols as I have been a S&W revolver guy only until recently.
