1936 S/42 Reblued ?

Wayne,

You finally got it back! (I read your earlier threads about this gun)

It is not unheard of for SOME rust-blued early Mauser S/42 Lugers to not have a halo on the barrel SN, but I would expect to see some bit of halo, or wear on the raised areas of the barrel witness mark, or the numbers (8.81 or the SN). But then the rest of the gun looks original to me. The lower frame has what I like to call the 'classic black & white' bluing scheme used in 1936-37 Mauser S/42 Lugers.
