Original finish or reblue??

I have started on a Luger for restoration. What do you think from these BEFORE pictures. Original or reblue? This is a DWM Luger. I dont have any more pictures to show. The Luger is now in the process of being restored. Also, the GESICHERT Safety marking had NO paint in it. Thanks!

Ted, Would almost have to be an old reblue? Most/a lot of the interior of a DWM is in the white?

Of course, you are correct Jerry, I have finished the restoration on this NAVY Luger and it is stunning even to me. It was identified before as having original bluing which it did not when I got it. Thank you for your reply.
