Scored a MKII Govt. model!

A little while ago, I was at my preferred local gun shop; they had just gotten in a batch of used guns from an estate, and sitting in the case was a beautiful stainless MkII Government Model! Like the little Bearcat I found a few years back, it was whispering to me "Take me home with you....", so I did. (It helped that they had a price on it so low that I decided to buy as soon as they got it out of the display case...)
It appears to have been a "safe queen" - externally perfect, no marks or scars at all around the takedown lever, and stripping it for a cleaning (just on general principles) makes me think that it has had very, very few rounds through it - no wear marks whatsoever to be found, it looked as if it just came from the factory!
I have a new favorite .22 pistol...
