Also, the odd blue color is due to the "fire bluing" heat treatment of these parts, and is an indicator of the gun's having its original finish. The sear bar spring, front sight, and grip screws are fire-blued as well, although the finish is not durable and is usually found worn away from the sight and screws.

When you say the front sight also does it means the blade of the front sight ?
