Emo,

I'm sure that some may have been. I am just trying to determine if anyone has documentation to the fact that they have been or were dipped, re-blued or otherwise refinished.

Re-works and/or rebuilds were probably stripped and re-blued in some instances. I am trying to determine if non-re-works (pistols which were not physically altered or re-built) were ever just expediently re-blued to improve or preserve the overall finish.
