Dwight, Pete, I have to vote that this pistol might not be a re-blue. The safety area is simply patined in my opinion. I have an all original 1900 in my lap and the safety area patina is exactly the same. The pistol has no other indications of reblue. If you look at the indent hole it is bright in the white. The Dutch did refinnish pistols. The Europeans thought nothing of refinnishing. They were just tools after all. Especially in the Dutch East Indies where the weather could be brutal on pistol finishes. Jerry Burney
