Clint,
Nice work , looks good for your first time. Actually it looks good for many times.
The only suggestion I would float is to use some filler metal from a period piece, instead of mild steel rod, of the same type gun i.e. Mauser or DWM and metal from same location on the gun. This would require a donor piece to use and may not be worth it for one piece. I would think this would blend better and reduce color differences. JMHO. Or if someone knows the chemistry of the steel you could come close that way.
Once again, nice job.
Tom
