I.D. this gun

[downtownv]

Did you buy to Display (Collectable) or to shoot?
If B. it's more personal preference regarding esthetics, go enjoy it! If A by all means get it authenticated.

I would have paid $600 and been happy!

Take the grips off and check the frame for a N stamp, that will signify a factory nickel gun.

Mine has the N under the grip and it is Nickel.
