Has this been reblued?

[Oatmeal Savage]

Sorry for being a pest. Please aid in my milsurp education. Has this rifle been reblued? Why I think so, no wear on high points or knob of the bolt. The stock looks too clean, but it doesn't look like it has been sanded. Am I out to lunch?

I haven't seen it in-hand, but the wood at the edges is still crisp in all the low-wear areas and the handling marks aren't rounded and melted looking. I don;t think it's been sanded. The finish looks OK to me too. The Type 44 carbines are better finished than other Arisakas - this is well documented.
