The ORIGINAL finish for this gun would have included strawed small parts including the ones that you mentioned...
It may have been "arsenal" refinished after 1937 and ended up with these parts being blued... or it just may have been reblued before the present owner received it...
regardless... it is NOT the ORIGINAL finish...
bid on it appropriately based on that...
Good luck, and if you buy it, make sure you post photos... in fact, if you can get good photos before you plunk down your hard earned cash, do that and others can pass judgement on your potential acquisition...
