I remember some previous threads discussing the mismatched color of sideplates on some rust blued lugers. I beleive the consensus was that the sideplate wasn't hardened as much as the other parts, so it took on the blueing differently, and consequently aged differently.
Very nice 1936 S/42!!! Thanks for showing.
