Great gun! Don't see these every day.
When I bought this years ago, from photos only, I was told it was all original. I only shot it once at the range and put it away. However I think it is in reality an older refinish, in excellent shape except for a couple blemishes which give it away. I won't ever deceive anyone by over-selling the gun as original. But it is functionally perfect and looks beautiful, and it obviously has not had much use. Barrel is clean and shiny. Serial number is 165xxx and Coke grips are serial number 166xxx. There is a small chip out of the back of one grip as you will see in the photos which I have also considered in the cost. Overall the gun presents extremely well and pricing is at about 50-60% of what an original blue-books at. No box or papers.
