Do you think my 41 has been re-blued?

Hi James,
I would leave well enough alone if I were you. Removing those small parts so that they can be de-blued is tricky, which is the reason they were blued in the first place. It was just too much trouble so the whole gun was immersed in bluing solution instead of being painstakingly disassembled. Even were you to succeed you would never restore this gun's virginity.
Regards, Norm
