Now I never thought much about other firearms having been refinished. So reading the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson Written by Jim Supica, the section on Factory refinish he says that the star mark after the serial number means that the gun was sent in for rework of some kind and that a gun that has been sent in for refinish will bring a price somewhere between original finish and non-factory finish.
So if i understand it right. I believe that a gun that was sent back to Remington for refinishing, could be worth as much as a non refinished gun to a certain group of buyers if the quality and condition of the work is as well executed?
