I just noticed the toggle was blued is that right as none of mine are?
Eric:
Are you referring to the toggle pin? If so, on the later salt blued guns, such as this, yes the pin got blued too. On the older rust blued guns the toggle pin should still be "in the white".
Also regarding the plum coloring, I'm not exactly clear the years or the cause, but that was very common right around 1940 and 1941, so that alone would not scare me off on an otherwise honest gun.
