Is it hot blued or Rust blued
Stumbled upon a GH that I can't afford yet but has a nice price on it. Its a 12g on a 2 frame made in 1908 I believe.
It has a skinny little butt pad that I don't think is factory and the stock has been refinished. Checkering is original, and it has some of the nicest look Dam patterning I have seen, except for the light bluing treatment. The pattern looks like it is perfect and someone just wrapped the barrel in dark blue/black celaphane.
So the question is, if I ever get my finances straight, is there a way to tell if it was hot blued or rust blued?
Oh yeah the tag has the annoying only shoot black powder loads written on it.
