Reblued. No doubt.

The base before reblue was not very horrible.

Be honest, I could not understand why people reblued this thing. Say, it came in low condition, he/she accepted that, big deal? after all, that's just a thin layer of Fe3O4 for visual appearance, not worth the cost, the logic is at least self-contained. Accepted, then, spend more $$ to refurbish it,,,,, still cares that Fe3O4? Conflict in logic. Correct behavior is supposed to be (well, in my view): it is what it is, and feel proud of it, no change.

perhaps re-blued for looks or to last another 100+ years

here's description:

Quote:

Excellent as professionally restored. Restored finish is at about 99% with light sharp edge wear in places. Action is tight and crisp, bore is bright with sharp rifling. Some handling dents and gouges on the grip panels. All numbered parts are matching.
