Many East Coast 21s have been refinished. Model 21 guys know the difference. They're kind of like Purdeys. Real collectors know the difference. The "English guns are expected to be refinished" is a myth. English guns in original high condition sell for much more than refinished ones. Same goes for 21s except that there are more uninformed 21 buyers than English gun buyers.
