That filing off of the drop point must have been done when it was re-checkered.
I remember when it was for sale by someone at Pintail Point quite a number of years ago, then I saw it somewhere for $9ksomething.... then another time for $8ksomething.... now it's $9K...
I have always liked that gun but for me it would have extremely limited use... so I never took the leap.
