Comparing two 1936 S/42 guns

[Railsplitter]

Jim,

As Norme pointed out an S/42 Code 1936 Nazi Military should not have blued small parts. Perhaps, since the guns are not in your possession, they may actually be S/42 Code 1937 Nazi Military ?? In which case either strawed or blued small parts can be correct depending on whether the pistol was produced early or late that year.
