No, I also don't believe they were case hardened. I may be wrong, but I believe they were niter blued, which wears fairly quickly. The trigger guards were also niter blued. The safety on the subject gun appears to be hot blued, but if it's not, and it may just be the photo, appears to have the shine and hue of hot bluing.
