Yeah Keith, like when the seller says "all original finish" and the reciever is all gray and the barrels are half gray, the stock is near black from dirty oil. I don't think any gun left the factory that way.

For finishes, I like all the good looking ones. I looked at the H&H guns priced at over $200k and liked their finishes. They were not satin nor were they 'gloss'. Something near gloss though. My preference in application myself is for Pro-Custom Oil.
