I cannot understand why two COLTs made in the same year (one at the beginning and the other one towards the end of 1943) have got such a different finish: the earlier has got a dark grey almost shiny finish that reminds a bit of some sort of bluing (# 942,535); while the latter (# 1,121,435) is in mint conditions and has got the tipical parkerized green shade.
I mean both the pistols are totally original, but the colours of the two pistols are very different, and I don't think it's a matter of wear.
I would appreciate to know other people's opinion.
