While i was checking out some completed detective special auctions, so that i may better gauge appropriate prices, i came across what appears to be an anomaly in the world or DS's. here's the link, check out this pic;

It doesn't say in the descrition what type of finish this is, only that it is a LE (law enforcement) model. am i wrong, or does this appear to be a stainless steel detective special? i know that Colt supposedly never made one in ss until the later DS-II and SF-VI's, right?

The gun in this auction is definitely not one of those early 90's DS', so what is it? Did Colt make LE models in SS?
