Smith Corona sear finish

[bob4wd]

My 03A3 appears to be all correct, finally, except for maybe the sear. It is the correct square-end type, not a mark on it, so seems to be correct. My issue is the finish- it's blue, or maybe Du-lite, which may be correct, but the trigger is definitely parked. So which is correct, blue or park for the sear? And the trigger? I've seen both answers from supposedly knowledgeable people in various publications, so am still unsure!

Thanks Chuck, I figured you'd come through! It just struck me as strange that a company would use different processes to finish their parts, not use either blueing or parkerizing for everything. But who knows how corporate mentalities work! Good bit pf trivia on the Du-Lite process!

Du Lite is still in business
