    I think they're the same, except the TFW has less of the horrible writing on the sides.

    Yes they are the same.

    Get yourself a Birchwood Casey Presto Bluing pen, and rub it over the markings. Repeated applications are needed (over 60 mins or so) until the desired effect is given. It should take it to a point where the markings are the same colour as the paint on the gun.

    This is what my old one came out like, you can hardly see the Swiss Arms logo on the slide:

    Yup 100% the same guns apart from the trade markings..

    instead of bkuing out the markings, get the gun polished
