Okay, I'm backing off my original opinion.

For that amount of color the engraved borders on the frame should be absolutely crisp and sharp. That engraving appears to have been lightly buffed. I was able to see that by enlarging the picture.

Of course, without the gun in hand, opinions are just that.

It's a very nice gun and the fact that the book says capped pistol grip means little to me. It's just what you said about the engraving and the look of the colors that just jump out at me. If the gun was in my hand that might be totally different and I would have a different idea.

I probably should have said that the book has been wrong before, but I don't have the knowledge to make the call either way just wanted to tell him what the book said.
