I was not able to find any markings during my examination. I pulled the cylinder out of it looking for a serial number on hidden part of the cylinder. Did not find anything.

What was particulaly troubling was the target front sight on the barrel, but no matching sight on the frame.

I think this was a pistol that was cobbled together from parts and then cleaned up nice. It is entirely possible that the seller believed it was original. On the other hand it is also possible that it IS original. But I doubt it.
