Heydrich,

I was not asking for the reference for the bluing. The reference for the production process that he cited is what I am asking. However, thank you for the very valuable information that you have given.

You have given the most important qualification to your statement and I admire you for it: for this period
Another qualification might have been "by this company".

I cannot accept as an article of faith that the same processes manufactured both rifles and pistols. They may have been, but that is not an absolute. It is not irrefutable proof. The evidence cited by Dwight and his observations of the marks on the military, police, rework, and commercial pistols is compelling argument. It is good research being subjected to peer review and must be dissected using equally compelling research methods, not the arguments, based upon nonsense, which have been submitted above.

Dwight has shown quite a bit of integrity in methods and presentation. Our arguments to the contrary must be of the same ilk.
