So I did buy it. Has original diamond grips, it's better than VG (almost too good ??). Has the papers and the blue box but, the label is not readable so there's no assurance it's the original.
The bluing is near mint which makes me wonder if it was re-blued. Under 10x I can't find any blemishes or evidence of refinishing. You Smith experts, anything I should check for to be sure its original quality?
Will post photos shortly.
