1938 S/42 query

Thanks, Bob. I have a modest firearms library. One of the books I have is "The Luger Handbook" by Aarron Davis. On page 55 of the 1997 edition he describes the Mauser S/42 P.08's produced from 1936-1940. Under the "Finish" category Davis says "Salt blue. Ejector, magazine catch, takedown lever, thumb safety, and trigger all straw colored". You think he is definitely mistaken on this point?
