After looking at the safety button again, and blown up, I withdraw my original comment that it may have been hot blued. Clearly now, it's not. Maybe cold rust blued. I have a gun which has had no handling, and it has the slight bluish tint of niter bluing, much like early Colt niter bluing (which no one seems to have mastered) I'm much more accustomed to guns which have seen use, and many of mine are the grey-silver, with traces of original bluing.
