What do you mean? Is the M71 in the link restored or not?

Definitely reblued. Rounded corners and the buffing marks are the big give away along with the stamps getting a little thin.

Steff,

It has positively been refinished.  There are numerous visual clues shown in the auction pictures.

Something odd about the fore end checkering.
