It's got a nice patina. I keep wanting to see a forearm contour and white guard on a scpb with a burst, but that's not to say it doesn't look good. If we're talking about customized early Precisions, I think they look great in custom colors. Mike Lull did his version of one in Fiesta red recently that was a hot number. There's this one from 56' I saw being advertised on YouTube. Could this be an original midnight blue custom color?

Based off this timeline for the precision, there was a metallic blue available as a custom color option in 56' so it's possible there's one in that finish out there. Perhaps the one in the youtube video I posted is one.

That burst with black guard looks awesome.
