Ted , Is that anodized or has it been powdered coated ? It doesn t have that deep shine so to speak .
Have seen pictures and believe it is original finish I have seen a few g0ld ones that were not shinny don't know why `probably the anodize came out wrong or they had to clean before anodize. most of the non shinny ones I have seen are early serial numbers like before #200. ron
I'm with Ron. It looks original to me. Also, the anodize has been rubbed through on some of the bent edges, and those areas definitely look anodized. Paint nor powder look like that when rubbed off. TJ
Thanks for the info. , nice to hear from Ron and Ted .
Chris, we are both bent but unbowed!

Thanks Ted for giving me a warning.
