I noticed that too, and I have seen the same effect on parts that are hardened differently. Haven't seen this on any other Walthers though, so I'm pretty sure it's something else... Could be plating, could be a mismatched pistol with a severely worn frame and a slide from Goering's stash of spare parts?
