Newbie question, what type of factory finish is on my S&W 5943? The slide is SS and the frame is an aluminum alloy. Both have holster wear marks (Pd trade in) Looking for advice on best way to refinish for a durable finish. Would like to dress it up a bit.

Just bought the same model and exact same markings from Cleveland Pd although a bit of holster wear and the sights seem a bit dim. Both magazines also have the restricted Le and Gov use warnings on also.
