Can you post a pic of the dust cover?

A thumb print dust cover in that serial number range is a problem along with the lack of assembly numbers.

It has definitely been refinished.

I’m not really sure what is up with the finish of it. The metal looks like someone opened a jar of gun schmooze and coated it darkening up all the metal to the point you can’t really tell the lever and hammer are case colored. It looks like a very dirty gun.
