OfflineWhat is the serial number on your Model 1897?
In answer to your question about the finish, both the barrel and magazine tube should be a high-polish rust blued. It appears that the magazine tube on your gun has been replaced (or refinished).
Can you post (or send me) a clear picture showing the factory marking on the slide bar and the barrel?
