Karl -
It's a mutt. There may be some blue left on it somewhere, but I haven't found it yet. It seems to have turned a brownish-gray...It had a nice shiny coat of oil on it; after washing the oil off, I see some rust in cracks & corners (under the oil). I've cleaned a lot of it off, but it needs a total stripping to get the rest out.
I cleaned out the firing pin cavity and found the firing pin spring retainer [guide?] was broken. I also don't know how I'm going to remove the trigger bar as the trigger bar spring has no 'bend' on the front end...I need to clean under it...
The magazine also had a buggered-up wood bottom...It looks homemade...And the mag sticks/rubs when inserted/removed...
Grips are worn...Oddly, the grip screws aren't buggered...
The bore is...Well, every time I wash & brass-brush it, I get more crud out...(Four times so far)...But it still looks worn & frosty...
Yep...It's a mutt...
Edit: I got the TB spring to move, so i know I can get it out...and a P08 FPS retainer (from my S/42) works, so it functions...Sort of...
