FT, I'm gonna side with Pisgah in that it's an aftermarket finish. My only comment that might be of any significance is about Armolloy. If the gun appeared "factory fresh" but stainless you could only hope it is Armolloy. There use to be only a hand full of shops nation wide that refinished firearms with that process and I've never seen one done badly. As far back as the early '70's, provided he could afford it, a LEO would choose Armolloy over any other refinish for a service revolver. If the one you referred to was for sale, it would be awfully hard for me to pass up. Regards, hardcase60.
