Artillery sight slide...

Silly question from a neophyte: what's the difference between rust blued and fire blued? Is it a reference to the bluing process or the color of the final finish?

My grandfather's Arty is not in that great of shape, so I don't have a good idea of what the original bluing should look like (other than what I've seen in photos on the blog)

I've only been on this blog for a few months, but it seems apparent that this is where the brain trust of Luger collectors resides online.
