Fred,

To answer your inquiry regarding the lack of any Japanese Markings...I've found a large portion of the NM#3s shipped to Takata & Co. I've owned or encountered are lacking any of these markings...Not all, but most!! Nevertheless...If it were mine I'd "Letter" it regardless...Just my opinion!!

One other question I've been meaning to ask given some of the photos are a bit misleading...What "IS" the Finish on Your Revolver...Blue or Nickel!! Reason I ask...A couple of the photos lead me to believe it's Nickel in areas that generally show no wear...In particular the area under the Cylinder on the Lower Frame Strap as well as the Recoil Shield...Just Curious!!
