Fire bluing, or 'Nitre blue'?

Thor has found a nearly perfect match for the early DWM rust blue. Borchardts are not fire blued, they are rust blued. Springs, pins and sights were fire blued but not the gun.

To illustrate what Ron said, here's the difference between fire blue and rust blue. Regards, Norm
