That ain't blueing over pitting. That's blueing over the heat damage done to the gun when the chamber was carelessly welded shut under the UKs brutal "Deactivation" program. In this case, with no regard to the pistols outer looks.

Within the confines of the UK laws, at least find an example that was treated with respect upon deactivation.
