Different Pa -63

[ourbigbluehouse]

At a recent gun show I spotted a PA-63 with a different dark slide surface texture. Both mine and a friend of mine are shooting a more normal smooth blue coated steel. This one had a textured dull surface and of course the dealer didn't know anything about PA-63's or the reason for the difference. Sounded too fishy and the price was much higher than I spent for mine a few months prior. Good decision or bad? What's up with the blow back slide texture?

not sure of reason behind it , I have seen the two different finish's on them, but they should sale for the same price. the one with the texture finish I think its done with heat cured wrinkle paint for cost reason's
