It is shame the nickel is a refinish. Looking at the gun, whoever did the nickel did a really good job- the rebound stud is still dome shaped and sticking up. I have not seen a refinish outside the factory that had this trait (at least any gun I knew was a refinish). Some immediate attention is needed on that butt. It will probably clean up pretty nicely with some elbow grease after a soaking. Certainly will make a very nice shooter. Price was definitely good. Good luck cleaning her up and enjoy it afterwards.
