I don't know whether these are "original finish" or not. From the photos I would opine that the barrels are re-browned because there appears to be more aging of the locks than the barrels. The wood finish is rather shiney as well, raising questions in my mind.

However, these are interpretations of not-so-good photos. That is no substitute for inspecting the weapons in-hand. I say this more as an observation of the photography and not as a judgment of the items themselves.

Certainly the comments of other members are fair. Nobody but Nordmann has held these pistols. The pistols are not on trial, but this is fundamentally a discussion forum.

I am very thankful to have these displayed. They are beautiful and rare. It is not often we have the opportunity to see photos of such fine pieces, let alone have the opportunity to hold such items. Thanks for placing them here for display.
