Here is a picture that is not the best lighting, I will take it outside later today for some better pictures. I have put it next to other radios that have that very dark look but you just know that its not black and this one still looks black. There are none of the tell tale signs of refinishing that makes me believe it is the original finish. I have not seen another so have nothing to compare to.
