I am pretty sure that a Model 19 was never offered in matte blue similar to a HP.
Here is the link to the one that brought $1700 just a few days ago. For all intents and purposes, this gun was/is new.

Thank you very much for that information. That is mine to a T. 99%+, no upside. The difference being that mine has better wood. I also do not think the gun on GB was exactly as shipped. The grips were marked as ST, which I would consider to be smooth target, unless someone has a better reason for an ST marking. Thank you for the effort to help...........Pete
