I just bought a 1937 S/42. I got it at a good price because it has been reblued. Blue appears to be a quick dip blue without much buffing. Some of the parts are bright metal with the trigger badly strawed. I want to refinish the pistol properly because right now it looks like a $20 whore standing in the middle of a KIA showroom.
The serial number is 3615d. Can anybody tell me what the finish should be, rust blued or salt blued, and whether the parts should be strawed or not.
Thanks
Charlie
