Hi,

I think there was possibly a very few 1936's with all blue parts and with the salt blue finish. As I remember seeing one gun and hearing of another. They were Navy proof marked and had all blue parts and had the salt blue finish. These were all original and the question was just why did a 1936 Navy have a mid to late 1937 finish? No answer to this, but they were real. The one I saw was all original, and the other one the guy told us he thought it was wrong with the blued parts and had the small parts strawed. When he saw this one, he about fainted. With out the Navy property markings, I'd say your gun was not correct with blued small parts.
