Worked on getting this one for a few days, finally saw it live and we came to an agreement. The hammer and trigger made me question the finish. The tire treads did too. It looks to me to be a survivor from an owner that doesn't like case color for some reason. Is it the original blue or a refinish?

Hi ****! Nice to hear from you.

The trigger and hammer are very curious but if that gin was refinished, it was very well done. I’d be pleased with it, regardless. Well, as soon as I replaced those awful rubbers.

That’s weird. Don’t know why the asterisks. I spelled out M I C K

 

[mrerick]

Have the hammer and trigger been chromed or nickle plated?

The focus and lighting of your photos are just soft enough that I can't judge finish edges. If they are sharp, it was either very well done, or original.

 

[azmick]

I am pleased with it,,, the Goodyears arean easy fix, the glare off the hammer and trigger,, not so easy. I also forgot to mention that nice fellow from The Wiregrass for his help. It's chrome not nickel,, very odd to me.

It's the same on ***** signature line too, Forester.
Apparently we must henceforth refer to Azmick as "asterisk". Political Correctness strikes again!

I thinks some admin's finger slipped when putting words into the "banned words" filter.

 

[bonedaddy]

I don't believe it to be a reblue but I'm no expert. None of the letters on the sideplate and the barrel seem to be washed out, as you get most of the time with a reblue. If reblued, they did a masterful job. The polished trigger and hammer don't look too bad. Thanks for showing.

 

[Mac23]

My guess would be that someone just messed with the trigger and hammer. All markings look good and the sideplate screws and surrounding area look normal. Nice revolver in any event.

 

[delcrossv]

Looks refinished to me. Not overpolished like so many, but it doesn't look "right".

M**k is a derogatory term for an Irish person.

 

[1av8r]

If me, I’d do just enough to make me happy. I’d replace the hammer and trigger and grips and go shooting. I wouldn’t sweat the finish. Just MHO.

enjoy, ****.

 

[1av8r]

Yeah. The M.I.C.K thing has to go.

 

[ussmanlovede36]

It doesn't look refinished to me.

 

[Minorcan]

Looks like an original to me. As far as the chromed trigger and hammer I had a friend that produced a lot of acid in his sweat and for some reason it seemed to affect case hardened finishes so he chromed everything. Yep, every thing. He even chromed his vintage 1911, alas.

 

[WendyZXZ]

Whatever it is should be a fine shooter!

 

[Thewelshm]

on a positive note that sucker will polish up like the Dickes, new shoes and you are golden mate

Does not look look like a refinish to me BUT it it is it was done very well and it looks great. Hammer and Trigger have been polished. But other than that i be happy with it

 

[Stophel1776]

And that's a nice old four screw Combat Magnum! Relatively early.

I would look for a replacement hammer and trigger. That shiny stuff would bug the far out of me. If it's just polished and not plated, you can quickly simulate a sort-of case hardened look with cold blueing. But they do appear to be plated.... like bumper chrome... ugh.

Already have a hammer, trigger and a set of Altamonts on the way. It should be ready for Mr. Demill's close up in a week or so.
