JD,

I think it is the lighting in the photos that make the small parts look blued. I believe that they are actually still strawed.

That said, I also believe that the gun was refinished at some point in its life because the sharp edge lines, and edges of the stamps in many places have been softened or buffed so that they no longer appear sharp.

The sideplate is also unnumbered and this would be an abberation from normal Erfurt production.
