Ed,
My vote would be that it's the original blue.
Cameras make patina(browning) stand out. The grip strap in your photo, bears this out. Looks like a nice honest 1903. Neat little pistols.And getting harder to find in nice condition.

The grip fading is caused by exposure to sunlight. Or some other source of UV rays. Which leached the pigment of the early plastic material.
