yes, someone changed it out at some time, to a rounded, but NOT the longer, rounded 'Premiere' loading gate, we can "see" the screw slots were "used" and the gun was apart, screw heads ,slots and recoil shield look , still rough casting finish and NOT polished out, as it would be if it were reblued,,,,better to look ,see it ( the finish) in outdoors,bright sunlight yes, a very NICE gun.......
also want to add it has the early "satin" finish on the grip medallions...........
