    Here are more pics with the camera flash. Just wanna be sure before I ask for a refund. I purchased it as an original un-restored pistol. .

    Take pics outside in natural sunlight. With flash is hard to tell.

      In the photos the feed ramp appears to be finished over. It would have been polished back to bare metal after original finish was applied.

        I'm still 100% convinced that the pistol has been refinished. I know that it was mentioned before but if the pistol was truely as nice as it appears and original it most likely would still have it's original barrel. I know, not Always but just another tell tale sign. Also wrong color phosphate parkerizing and finished over feed ramp.

          I'm not an expert like the gentlemen above, but before you bother taking a photo outdoors and without a flash, just let us know if that LIGHT GREY is the actual color of the parkerizing. I've seen a lot of M1911A1s and not a one of them was anywhere close to being light grey as the one you pictured.

            One exception, late war R.R.s are found light. This example is refinished without a doubt
