Late Mauser small parts bluing

For Ron Wood,

Ron, I based what I must emphasize as my OPINION on this "reproduction" on the original photos and was less concerned with the color correction as I was with what appears to be mildly rounded edges (rear toggle link bevels, upper receiver in the chamber area chamfers, sideplate edges ... and the lack of serial number halos on the frame... I have been wrong before, but I don't think so this time. YMMV... A first hand evaluation might tell a different story...

-John
