Er..I'm not Ed (Thank God! ) but "in the white" means no finish/blue...

For the front sight base, take a look at the Artillery Luger section; look at the front sight bases...and compare them to a 4" barrel front sight base...(Or my pic below - Red lines in my pic point to the FSB)...

Here's a comparison of my S/42 4" barrel to a repro artillery barrel front sight base...I make the arty barrel FSB ~.090" higher...that's the base, not the blade...
