Ted, the pics are pretty old and not real sharp, stock has plenty of light dings, and the finish where cheeked has worn thin and been re-freshed multiple times. The pad too shows lots of wear. Most of the guns I've carried as much as this one show a lot of bluing wear on the bottom tang, but this on has some kind of black finish (anodized?) on the trigger guard/tang and toplever that doesn't show it. Only thing I don't like about this 23 is the unusually thin comb -- I tend to get my cheek firmly into the stock and this one can bite me.
Knowing your strong preference for double triggers, I'd be disillusioned if you expressed any interest in a 23, or any other single trigger gun.
