Thanks Brownie. It looks like it is original finish. The Indians used to paint these with a thick black paint with no regards to "quality", just get it covered to protect it from rust. Unfortunately, any collector factor has been trashed because the receiver was D&T (a couple of times
). But, I bought it to take shooting and not worry about damaging the collector value. I can't wait to put some match ammo or eventually reloads through it to see how it really shoots. Seams to like heavier bullets according to the PO.
