The frame was case hardened and is. The colors are just worn off. The surface hardening is still there though.
It looks to me like your frame may not be silver from simple wear. Someone likely worked it over and polished the colors off.
I would suspect the barrels and surely the trigger guard have been reblued on your gun. And maybe the stock refinished or finish freshened up at one time.
