The customer on the 16 gauge site link, Duncan, was in the gun business full time for five years, should know that only about one potential customer in ten can identify a well refinished Model 21 as refinished. He should further realize that only about one in ten gun dealers don't take advantage of that customer naivete. I, personally, wouldn't buy a Model 21 advertised as mint and original from five feet away, much less sight unseen. About nine of ten "mint and original" Model 21s advertised by otherwise reputable dealers are "mint and refinished". Most of us learned that when we were pups.
