S/42 1938 Purchase Decision

[lfid]

the most suspicious area visible is in picture 2 - the right side upper rear frame area which is bordered by the recoil rail that begins near the toggle and has sort of a cursive "n" shape.
it is right side similiar area that on the other side left side has the the safety lever and gesichert text

the right side picture shows it with an irregular reddish tint - which salt reblued lugers sometimes have due to temperature variations versus the steel hardness - I dont recall any discussion cases of this redness thing on original mausers

right receiver near the barrel mount - the small fillet area that blends the receiver ring profile with the side flat looks soft like some reblued cases and receiver looks like sanded not machined surface

at this price level bore must be like new shiny etc

patience and better pictures and good luck in the quest !!!
