I can still see the engraving. Might as well polish the gun to get out what you can. The engraving style was nice but not enough engraving on the gun that makes it look bad. I would make that my beater/carry gun.
The problem with this one being a 'beater' is the fact that only 150
were produced.
It is reassembled now and functions perfectly and goes back into the
group with the others.
And yes, it was a April fools joke.
I bought it from a guy in Alaska a few years back before the prices on any
short N frame went nuts.
Good luck

Well it's a rare beater then!
Since you mentioned it was a rare gun, I would definitely block sand the gun to get all of the engraving out the best that you can. If that was my gun and it was a rare one, I would try to bring it back to factory stock the best that I can but if it was just a plain-jane gun, I would stop where you are at now. That is too bad someone did that to the gun. If you do continue to work on it, post some pics of the process.
