Why many old pistols have "white" muzzle?

It's interesting to notice even those salt blued guns, e.g. "Black Widows", Modell 1930s, Schnellfeuers, etc, also have unblued muzzle (Vince, sorry, but it's definitely not by holster rubbing -- rubbing could not do the job so clean and so uniform... and on so many guns).

Mauser Parabellum imported by Interarms in 1970s has blued muzzle. I have never seen a postwar HK Luger..... don't know that one.
