If thats the case it appears to be more of a rust bluing. I've seen the process before but was unsure of the difference in finish.

That's not cold blue. A professional is a hot blue bath and it gives the deep luster like that. It could also be hand applied rust blue...that was the original application.
Thank you for all the info you have provided. I'm looking forward to getting ready to shoot it and put it through its paces.
rvan84 - Unfortunately your picture posting was possibly damaged by the recent system updates.
I get an error message when I try to view your images. I suspect that might be true for everyone now.
Yes, the pics are gone. He should reload them, I was waiting to see if you came along...Quote:

You'll need to re-save those pics as another name on your computer before re-using them.Quote:

The left magazine plate shows purple which indicates a high Nickle content or cool bluing salts... That polish would need to be a hand done with fine paper to be so clean and no stretched marks. Hard detailed work. I ask Butlersrangers again, is that Italian walnut you think? Maybe some passerby will know for sure?
