Thats an interesting point, thanks. I just assumed if not marked it must be aftermarket custom, I'll send for a letter to be sure.
A Pre-Model 40 Centennial "lemon squeezer",4 screw, flat latch, pinned bbl, smooth trigger, with Spegel boot grips just adopted me. Its not "purist collectable" as it was plated in chrome or nickel w/o orig grips or box, but it looks like it was done yesterday, no cylinder drag lines, 98%(but not original finish-I assumed) ...so maybe chrome?
(No factory "N" stamps). looks like someone wanted a top shelf weatherproof pocket gun before stainless. Ser #100XX (early 50's?)
I couldn't walk past at 550.
Any threads on plated / non factory plated?
