Yes, this is an unfinished A-1 that was finishing plainly with just case color and bluing.
I have worked on a couple of these guns with Gournet (my work consisted of rust bluing and assembly as well as coordinating case coloring with turnbull). Those guns were also gold inlaid, but this one is not. The wood and finish and checkering on this one are right in line with the quality of the other few guns that i worked on.
For what thise unfinished A-1s sells for, this gun is a priced very well.
