My 41C looks exactly the same, and I'm not a painter ;-)

Hi, Gordon; (forgive-me talking too much...)
this silver trim is original and all 41C's have it; it's the same silver trim style that exists in many classical models and some new ones (except for the HP12C, all voyagers have it). I have an HP41C and it's also exactly the same. The golden trim exists only in the 41CV and 41CX.
Cheers.

Hi,
all 41C's have a 'silver' trim.
Even the front sticker shows 'silver' letters,
and the HP logo is the older-style one,
with sharper edges.
Regards,
Raymond

ALMOST all 41C's have the silver trim. I have one with the gold trim and label.
The reverse is true for the 41CV. almost all have gold trim and label. I have one with silver trim and a silver front label. Also one with gold trim and a silver front label. Final weirdo is a silver CV with the CPU card held down with internal nuts and the gold balls in the charger port.
All the CX machines that I have have seen are gold trim/label.

Thanks to you all for pointing out my ignorance!
I have a 41CV and 41CX both with gold trim.

I also have two odd HP25C machines (with dates codes a couple of weeks earlier than the museum records). One has the "Continuous Memory" script on the keyboard, but no 25C on the front label. The other has no "Continuous Memory", but does have the 25C on the front label.
