I would concur with Ted, and add that the parts that should be "strawed" have probably been re-done at some time, and they let the heat get away from them allowing the parts to become darker; going to blue. There were no "sub-variations" on these pistols regarding the finish practices. I base this on 40+ years of collecting, repair, and re-build of Luger pistols.
