1936 S/42 Reblued ?

I would say based on the evidence, the entire upper (barrel, receiver, sideplate) is almost certainly reblued and then either fired a lot or someone took great care to make the receiver look like it was, due to the worn condition of the upper rails.

The lower frame parts may not be reblued - it looks fine to me, including the straw which looks original and the grip straps. Whoever tampered with (touched up?) this gun did an amazing job - no buffer used here!
