Best of all...it shoots just as nicely as my blued version. The only thing that would have made me happier would be if it had been an original nickel finish.
Anyway, thanks for allowing me to show off my new-to-me shiny toy.
Comments welcomed.

I think it is superb. The seam on the side plate still looks factory to me. As Wrangler Rich said, I wouldn't doubt that Ford's of Florida did the work. I have a K22 done by them and it looks factory too.
I can't believe it stayed on the table of a busy gunshow long enough for you to go by and look at it 4-5 times without someone else snapping it up. It also looks like you were fortunate that some here, including myself, were not at that show! Thanks for sharing.

I may be wrong, but I think those guns were brush nickel finished.
