Default Melonite 4566

Can someone post a pic of a Melonite 4566?
Are these 4566's TSW's?

I no longer have a picture but the ones I've run across had the old style frame with the rounded dust cover. Novak night sights, straight back grips, fired were cases dated around 2001. Other than the rail they should have all the other TSW enhancements.

My Melonite 4566 is just as the poster above described. Looks to be a standard 4566 finished in Melonite. I paid $585 at a local store about a year and a half ago with three magazines and box. The SN on the box didn't match, but was only off by a few digits.

I love the Melonite third gens. I have a 4006 Colorado State Patrol that is Melonite also. I'd love to find a factory 5906 now.

Dogmann if you search my posts there is a thread I started on Melonite 4566s when I purchased my melonite 4566 last year.

Scotter360 and Ted1trading posted some pics of them IIRC.

Mine is not a TSW, was made in 2002 IIRC. Nice pistol. If you are having trouble locating one PM me. I know where one is for sale. Regards 18DAI.
