Shooting a Mauser 1914 in range

Yes. I have a 1934 and it's salt blued (a.k.a caustic blue). But that's still a hot blue process, not cold blue.

Cold blue does look like rust blue though. Someone is interested in this gun. Although I only ask modest price, I don't want to give him wrong info. However, I am lost on 1914 myself.

I have never heard of any guns with a factory applied cold blue, I'd rather think that the "cold blue" they are referring to is actually rust blue.
