OK, Norme, here is what I found out about the bluing:

"...the pistol is made from steel and has a hot salt blue finish."

I am still looking to see if I can get info on when the marks are applied.

My thinking is that the serial number and arsenal marks were applied prior to bluing and the acceptance stamp applied after bluing. This theory accounts for the lack of halos on every mark except the acceptance stamp.
Hi:

I've never seen an early trigger guard model in hot salts. I've only seen a very high quality rust blue applied to these beautiful, well designed and manufactured pistols.

Also, the price is way too high!!!!!
