Also open the action: What does it smell like. If it smells like Grandma's purse then it is probably original. If it does not then I would be that the simichrome test does not come out brown.

Leaving aside my views on the originality of this particular gun (100% Kosher in my opinion), I question whether the Simichrome test is useful on the salt blue finish applied from 1937 on. As for the Grandma's purse test, well really! Regards
