    Metal finish on 1908 Brazilian

    I have a really nice 1908 Brazilianicon that has obviously been refinished. Everything has been blued. It is a pretty nicely polished blue, so pretty sure it wasn't done by a military arsenal.
    I would like to return the finish to the same as it came from the factory.
    Can anyone provide definitive information on the metal finish on the different parts of the Brazilian as it came from the factory? I understand the bolt and receiver were left in the white, with other parts being blued. What about the buttplate? The barrel band springs? Cleaning rod? Stock disc?
    Thanks for any help.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
