[Smoke on the Water]

Hello everyone new to the forum. Yesterday I purchased a P229 Satin Nickel with both barrels 40 and 357 and a total of 4 magazines. Has box and all the paperwork. Test round in envelope indicates 2004 production. Looking for opinions on this model. I heard that is assumed that the satin nickel finish is actually Robar NP3. Does anyone know if this is true?

SIG factory nickel finish is not Robar NP3.

Smoke... nice looking pistol! I imagine 12131 was correct in his initial assessment, without even seeing it.
