I disassembled my 1917 Erfurt. The entire frame inside the barrel channel and inside the magazine well is in the white.

Recoil spring linkage-blue or in-white?

In the white.

Toggle Section-all blue, including recoil link? All blue inside and out?

All blue inside and out except inside the firing pin channel. The recoil link is in the white.

Upper frame-blue on inside, or in-white?

Upper frame in white on inside; bottom of frame rails in white. The recoil lug and the front of frame is blued


A hot salts blued Mauser would be blued inside and out.

Hope this helps.
