Dieter,

The East German rework I just purchased looks the same way as yours and the photo with all blue inside and the small parts blued also. I don't know what type bluing the East Germans used, but it does look a little better than the dip blue used by the Russians.

I have decided to let Ted add my name to his list for rework and take my East German rework, polish the metal close to the original, and have a better salt blue job done to it. This will not harm the value to me, make it look a little better and I will just have a few more dollars invested in it.
