Thanks everyone for the input...
the bluing on the gun, basically the entire gun except some parts of the barrel is basically like new; the nitron blue parts (they were blue in color), are also in very good condition except for the ejector which has been worn somewhat... that was something that was really stricking... the bluing looks like the bluing on some new firearms i bought, like a new shootgun... is that realistic for a 70+ yearold gun? i asked the gun store owner, he said you can tell it wasn't reblued since the numbers appear crisp and not worn (something that happens when a firearm is prepared for re-bluing), and that the guy just took excellent care of it...
