    Hi All,

    Just a quick comment about the apparent pitting. Those aren't actually pits they are raised areas. I think its aluminum oxidization. My money would be on it being stored somewhere damp as there is no signs of holster wear on the slide or frame. It also appears to me that the assembled gun was either never or very infrequently fired as there is no sign of wear on any of the working parts.
