It’s actually characteristic for the Lithgow FTR refinish to be minimally invasive. They only did the “right” parts; the blued ejector rod and case-colored trigger and hammer were left alone.
The Lithgow finish also is quite thin and was done with minimal buffing, so the factory stampings are crisp and the overall impression often leads folks unfamiliar with the FTR stamps to take them as original.
