I concur with Doubs... if it was made before 1937 the interior of the gun should be int he white. The magazine well, the top of the inside of the grip frame. Rust blue is hand applied on the outside of the gun. Blue on the interior says the the gun was dipped... not the original process.

I don't have my photo library archive available this week or I would post some photos showing what the inside should look like. Perhaps someone else has some good photos to show this distinction.
