I sold one of these recently without a box or manual on a payment plan for $1200. It had absolutely no sign of flame cutting. This one has the box and manual but has just the slightest hint of flame cutting, really only just scoring the blue, not into the metal to any significant degree. Otherwise the gun is minty. Sorry about the 2nd and 3rd images - I had my tripod all the way up and it still wasn't far enough away to get the whole gun in the frame - it occurred to me that is because of having it up 2" on the box. The other pics tell the story.
