I would be very comfortable buying a high condition Superlight with no obvious rust. Oh, I guess I've actually done that and not been disappointed.

Straight grip guns pictured in Schwing's book are early, prototype, special order, European shipment guns, you name it but not standard fare for U.S. customers until the advent of the Superlight models.
