Derek sir, you don’t know what to look for. The evidence is clear to those who knowvwhat to look for.
Look at the worn or polished out border engraving, some of the screw slots have been damaged and “repeired”. Then the frame was “torched” in an attempt to replicate some sort of case color. It’s really not what you think it is.
Sorry for the bad news.
