There is enough wear to make me suspect that it is a nice original, well cared for 1st, 2nd.

Mike, do you know of any full silver plated Model 1's? I've heard the legend of the solid silver Model 1's, but I've never heard of a gun with full silver plating from the factory.
If such a thing exists, then I've just found
another variety of Model 1 to add to the wish list. Yippee.
