General question -  Is a bead blasted finish on a 1994 Monson production a DW factory finish? Thanks.

That is probably original, but it is not bead blast... It is what is called "dove grey".  Limited run of them -- 500 I believe.

I have one of these except it is lightly engraved.

I wasn't overly impressed with the finish so I polished it off. The gun is now a bright, shiny silver; looks almost like polished stainless.

I'm contemplating sending it to a place in GA for refinishing. They parkerize and then duracoat or ceracoat. Duracoat makes a titanium finish that I think would look good.
