Plum color

Jamese,
Isn't life interesting. I have 4606u, Code 42, dated 1939 with a plum colored receiver. Guess the same guy was running the blueing process or running the heat treat ovens as yours. Mine is about 98% blue with a matching mag (#1) that I picked up at a Phoenix gun show 2 years ago for about what you'd pay for a 1920 commercial today.
I like the plum color a lot too and this piece is one of my keepers.
