Hi Mark,

You are right on target - the straw color is not cosmetic. It is the by-product of the special heat treatment these parts received. It was so pretty (and acted to protect the metal in the same way bluing does) that the parts were not buffed and blued after heat treatment.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

Kyrie
