  I don't think there is any external change.
  Ask the seller.

  I am the seller! I just am not sure how to tell if a conversion took place or not. Was wondering if there was a way I can tell. I purchased this in a collection & am re-selling.

  With the "old model", you will hear a click in 3 positions as you pull the hammer back. A "new model" or converted pistol will just have a half cock & full cock position.

  When you pull the hammer back there will be (3) clicks (notches) if the gun has not been converted. The first notch is the safety (for carrying the gun loaded), the second notch is for loading the gun (the cylinder will turn freely) and the third notch is for firing the gun.

  Cock the hammer and you will see the firing pin cover raise to cover the firing pin.

  The first notch is not the safety.
  These 3 scr firearms are safely carried with
  only 5 rounds and an open chamber under the hammer.
