"Black Widow" Trigger Plates

Luke · 06-17-2001, 12:06 PM

I recently purchased a so-called Black Widow, byf, 1941, with matching numbers except for grips and magazine. The bluing is fairly good with some minor wear on the left side of the muzzle and a little less on the right side. The trigger plate shows considerable wear, as might be expected. On closer inspection, I note that the bluing is almost non-exitant on the entire trigger plate, not just on the high points where one would expect wear. Is this normal, or does this suggest a retrofitted trigger plate?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
