200818 is pretty darn nice! I don't see anything wrong with it except that horrible pad.
I wonder what those file marks are on the safety button but what the heck, it can be replaced easily. The price seems reasonable too.
And comparing the two, my personal preference would be originality even though the other one refinished by DelGrego in 1980 is one of the better refinishes I have seen from that shop. Nevertheless, give me a straight grip 30" original gun any day!
