Smith and Wesson 1917 - Polished Backstrap?

[bigduke6]

Had a look at My .455 S&W and the back has lost most of its colour etc were it sits in the palm of the hand, its got the brown look but seems just to be in that area, maybe the reason someone has give yours a good polish?

Must admit when I picked this up it didn't look (or feel, if that makes any sense) like it was over 100 years old.....
