Sorry Pointaker, misunderstanding I think.
The first pic is the gun as I purchased it, crappy refinish in nickel over what had been an originally blue gun. The side plate had been buffed so hard that the roll mark had almost disappeared.
I had Dave Chicoine and his son strip off the nickel, recut the roll marks and then blue finish it. I then put back on the original config walnut service grips and grip adapter.
The second pic shows the new shiny blue finish after the Daves ministrations. So now the gun is as close to it's original condition as I can manage.
There's an extra pic below of the right side of the gun pre restoration. I hope it shows the damage more clearly.
Regards.
