P85 Questions

[rbernie]

I saw a P85 today that was different than anything that I've ever seen.

First, the slide was rollmarked 'RUGER P85 MK II'. I have never seen the MKII designation on any P85 - what is the differences between a regular old P85 and the MKII?

Also - the slide was stamped with an oval and the words TERHUNE ANTICORRO. I assume that's some mark indicating a stainless steel slide, but again I've never seen such a marking and would love to learn more about it.

There was a recall on the P85. When Ruger performed the recall they added the MK II mark. P85's produced after the recall were produced with the mark. I know Terhune Anticorro is the name of the finish but that is all I know about it.
