Given that it is the same alloy as the frame I suspect that the color may be due to different heat treating and the fact that the final sanding of the side plate is oriented vertically as opposed to the horizontal striations of the receiver...sort of a moirÃ?Â© effect. __________________ If it's made after 1918...it's a reproduction
