Which parts are strawed and fire blued?

I have a 1917 DWM Luger. I want to get my restoration right the first time. Which parts were strawed, & which were fire blued? Can you also describe the colors? I think I have seen references to different hues of the straw color, depending on manufacturer. Also, I only recently have seen references to fire bluing on the Luger. I assume they tried to more or less match the color of the rust blue, is that right?

Thanks in advance for any info you can pass along!
