Buffed, Reblued, Boosted - Need Advice

unspellable,

Blood stains on the original rust bluing would leave a gun that is undamaged with perfect markings but ugly splotches that would hurt value. A gun in that condition, with no other corrosion, would be a good candidate to reblue to bring to top value. Or a vet might have simply wanted to restore the finish to like new, not realizing that new meant rust blue, not salt blue.

Every knowledgable person here (which is NOT me!!!) is saying these guns were never salt blued and any that were have been refinished.
