"I don't collect WWII era Lugers, but was under the impression that Mauser blued everything for guns made after 1937 (one of the reasons I don't find them as appealing)."
Mauser switched from Rust Bluing to Salt Bluing over a period of time in 1937.
Cold blue is something else altogether. Did you detect any unusual odor on your gun's finish?
