Agreed, the latest pics, which shows the receiver much closer up than the first shot Ted showed, is rather like a finish akin to cheap "japaned" enamel of the 19th century. But the first pic just took me by surprise, the gun was farther away and my eyes saw the finish more as colors and NOT coloring, if you get my drift.

I still am, however, planning on getting a pair of shoes with this cyanide treatment.
