Decent specimen with a blue finish are less commonly found than the nickel version.

As DWalt says, they’re all antiques. The pertinent ATF document can be found somewhere on the forum here.

The argument in favor of antique status is based on the apparent fact that the frames were all produced in 1896/97, and then finished and shipped, in completely random serial order, until at least 1903.
