Hello everyone, I'm a rookie, so not sure if I'm doing this right, but I have some questions I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with. I'm seriously considering purchasing a 43 LE Long Branch 303. It's in decent shape, but has some shiney black paint on the metal which concerns me. I have not been able to get a clear understanding of the facts. The original finish would have been oil blackened or blueing? Was it common practice to recondition with suncorite or black paint? (There is no reconditioning stamp) Is suncorite shiney, cause paint or otherwise, shiney just doesn't seem right? Anyway, any help clarifying how it would have been out of the factory, and possibily how and why it got this way would be appreciated. Thanks.
