Why did you say 'kinda'?

JUST kidding! They're better than we had.
I think that is likely wearing its original nickel. I can't see any solid indicator of a refinish.

What a lot of people don't know is that the nickel Reg Mags were polished heavier. That is sorta true for all nickel guns, but it definitely shows on nickel Reg Mags!

Another tidbit for you guys-
Between about 37 and 40, you will encounter some guns that were leaned on pretty hard in the buffing room. You will see some screw holes that begin to dish ever so slightly- always on the bottom side.
I don't know if he was a new guy, a part time fill-in, or an old guy whose ability and/or health might have been fading. Over the years, I've seen a good number of these guns, and I believe the same guy did 'em all.
