Hi All,
About three years ago, I picked up this DW .22 at a gun show. I've been a DW enthusiast for a long time, but had never seen a matt finish like this on a DW:
I kind of assumed it had been refinished, but I had never actually seen a DW in .22LR, either, so thought it might just have been unique to the .22's. If it's an aftermarket refinish, they did a beautiful job! The finish appears nearly flawless, with no trace of buff-out on the rollmarks.
I just came across this 15-2 for sale with a similar Parkerized-looking finish:

So, my question - Were DW revolvers ever offered with a matt finish like this from the factory? Or have both of these revolvers been refinished after the fact? It's really just a matter of curiosity, as I got the .22 as a shooter, and I'm not likely to buy the 15-2.
What say the experts? TIA!
Regards,
Jim

Hmmm... Pic not working for the .22. Anyway, the finish looks just like on the 15-2!
[ETA] Well, I guess it's working now!
