Default Shades blue!!

Hi Randy and all, The different parts usually show a different depth and shade of color for several reasons... most notibly.. the direction of the polishing marks with metal prep... The different grits and polishes in each area where the parts are made... the different metal type and hardness, or lack of... The type of part & wear, as in a protected part, or an exposted part... also the amount of finish that leaches out over time on a receiver, versus a bright blue barrel... I usuall look for difference in these areas, and if possible in outdoor sunlight... I find most of the honest pistols show quite a bit of difference in their individual part color... I have always noticed the flat side of the mag release is always darker then the surrounding frame area.. and as I said earlier..barrels are most often darker then the receiver... grip screws, shinny and dark... unless they have seen a bit of use... then lighter, duller... If you see a real crisp "byf" it's every bit as pretty as a earlier S/42... just more finish marks where they didn't go to the next level of polish... still real pretty when bright blue is still present... Best to all, til...lat'r....GT
