Default Bluing color variation?

On the same topic of my "42 BYF" Luger, It looks like this gun has never been fired, or maybe a magazine, once? The bore looks like it just came out of the factory, bright & shiny, very strong rifling and no visible pitting or corrosion! The bluing ( not showing up in the photos as well), also seems too good, for a 77yr. old Luger. Were there color variations of the bluing? I had always thought the Lugers were more a very dark almost black color, but this is definitely a blue, and all parts seem to be matching color.
