There was a British repair facility during WWII called the Rifle Factory Ishapore. These guns should be stamped R.F.I. on the frame along with other info. They finished the guns after refurbishment with a black paint called Suncorite. The gun you are interested in sounds like one of those refurbished ones. I have heard they rarely put them back together without mixing up the parts. So, check carefully that all the serial numbers match...under barrel, face of cylinder, behind ejector star, inside of yoke arm (look through a chamber to see it) and on the butt of the gun. A mix-and-match gun will lose a lot of value. IMO you are already at the upper end of what I would pay for it, especially if you recoat it. I would bead blast and Parkerize it. That would come closest to a restoration. You can buy an AGI kit from MidwayUSA that will Park a bunch of guns for around $60. And, here's what it'll look like afterward.
