Tell tale signs of re-bluing.

Sorry I didn't read that you had a Mauser but some of the same items apply. The 1937 Vintage S/42 can be either rust blued with strawed parts or salt blued with blued small parts so if you are talking about that year marked S/42 the serial number (or serial range, subscript letter) is important. Usually if the gun looks too good, it probably has been redone! Ted
