Of those few items surviving today they are rarely ever encountered with any orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliott Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very good to fine. No orig finish remains being an overall cleaned gray metal patina with fine pitting. Grips are sound showing moderate wear and retain a hand worn patina.
