We must alwo remember that DWM never highly buffed their pistols before finish. The finish varies from gun to gun, and some militaries may show more polish than than a commercial of the same time frame. DWM's re-done in Bubba's Gun Shop will show a high polish. If you see a DWM with a high polish finish you had better suspect that it has been redone.

The best example of the difference in the appearance of rust blue and salt blue is on the 1934/06 Mauser Swiss Commercial with the rust blued frame/receiver and salt blued barrel. It is readily apparent that the barrel has more shine than the frame and receiver, and this was not due to the frame and receiver not being adequately polished.
