Look like I get to answer my own question:

With the scales being the same color, it would seem to be m390 without the coated blade.

As a fellow lefty who's spent his entire life using right handed liner locks I'm not sure how'd I'd handle one made for us.

Bronze washers on this one. Think the coated M390 version has Teflon washers.

Is this the original? I've never seen the old one and the new one side by side

Think so? I've considered this over the years!

Maybe it's sufficient reason to scoop up a (lefty) Military 1 before they're history.

I have an original (rh) in s60v from my teens but maybe it's finally time for a lefty linerlock.

I know most people prefer the folder version, I've always liked the fixed blade version.

I just was never interested in the folder for one very good reason: it has a liner lock.
