Somewhere I read that's supposed to be cold blue (a PDF on mauserguns.com). But I don't know Mauser 1914. Any information?

All 1910s and 1914s I have seen have been rust blued. If I recall correctly, the caustic bluing wasn't commonly used until the 1930s so some 1934s could possibly have a caustic blue.
I have a few older .32s (the Mauser 1914 is one of them) that seem to misfeed more often than normal, and somebody said that this could be because modern .32 bullets have a slightly different shape than older bullets. Does anybody have more info on this?
