That's interesting, I thought refinished when I looked at the pictures, but they are so small I couldn't really base that on anything other then a nagging feeling about them.

I would have suspected a factory refinish from those pictures however, maybe late 30s.

In any case, it's an absolutely beautiful gun and I would be very proud to own it myself. A really high quality old refinish doesn't really lessen my enjoyment of any of my old re-blued guns. Heck, my triple lock has been re-finished at least twice and I couldn't love it more.
