Tom,
Generally speaking; both!! Rust Blued from 1900 until early-mid 1937 and salt blued thereafter. All Krieghoffs were salt blued.
Some late produced P.08s are also seen with a Parkerized finish, notably the M943 Portuguese issue. But the parkerizing was done locally by the Portuguese Army for service in Africa.
But like everything else, there were possible exceptions.
