Isn't that nice? Is it a reblue? What's that on the tip of the front sight?

Re-blu sadly. The front sight has a square chuck to assist the point of aim I am assuming. The nice thing is that the chunk can be removed without boogering the original form of the front sight.

Maybe not so sad, it may have looked worse before?

Blu over evidence of pitting is the tell. A nice shooter for sure however.

Well, we can't really see that so yes, it's a nice pistol.

Corrosion pitting always seems to affect C96's at the top of the pistol grips quite badly, I guess the inevitable action of age, hand salts and poor historic cleaning..

That looks like a super pistol though, re blue or not.
