Except for the trigger guard it all looks original to me but possibly had tru-oil applied over the original wood finish.
Of course having it in hand would be a better way to assess its condition. .

Mike,
What is your actual question? What is original and what isnt?

My original question, though inartfully expressed, was "Has this gun been restored?" My thoughts were that it had, although the recoil pad certainly leans the other way. Thanks.

“Restored” would not be the word to use. Maybe some inaccurate refinishing in a few areas.
The guard has been reblued. And the frame looks to have been polished bright by one means or another. And maybe some finish added to the wood. The gun looks like it is still a good candidate for a shooter, or for proper restorative work to be done to it.
