The "Bronze" is due to rebluing at the wrong temperature or not left in the tank long enough. Kind of like over done strawing.

Those darn Germans and their Desert Bronzing. Between this and the nickle plating of submarine lugers... Makes you wonder if they ever got mixed up and sent to the wrong units.

Imagine the frustration of getting a chrome plated luger if you were stationed in the Sahara. Everybody would point and laugh...
