Sideplates seem to be made of a different quality of steel from the rest of the gun. In response to a question several years ago, Thor mentioned that sideplates "take" blue differently--more quickly--than the rest of the gun. We have all seen examples where an otherwise correct and matching sideplate's surface has deteriorated much faster than the rest of the gun.
