looking at this 1914

OK, then, you mean "straw" (not fireblue). Describing the treatment thus will avoid confusing us.

He means "fire blued". The 1914 Mauser had a fire blued trigger. This feature can also be seen on other firearms of the period such as the trigger and safety lever on early Colt 1903 Hammerless

OK, thanks, Rich. I apparently got lost in the thread, and was referring only to Lugers. My experience with most other makes and models is thin.
