I never believe the blood spotting theories ie instant blue loss. Some folks insist they are true and others say that they have tested assorted blued items with real blood and nothing happened they said. What is most likely is that it got wet (blood, rain, snow) and sat in a holster or backpack for weeks, not wiped down like the guns they depended on. if it happened after the war, same thing, neglect.

I see a matching, byf (Mauser) made in 1941 Luger with a matching magazine. Unless you paid too much, the matching mag makes up for some of the bluing issues.
