I have a couple questions. Can a firearm be selectively reblued keeping much if the original blueing intact? I understand there is cold blueing but it eventually rubs off and it has a peculiar smell to it. If I find a proof mark that gas been compramised in some way, like a part of an "N" much more shallow than other psrts, or what looks like the lines making the crown up having a battered look to it, is this evidence that the pistol was cleaned and reblued? Still the pistol does not look reblued compared to online photos.,and the inside of the frame is in the white, just as it should be for rust blueing.
