So the question is settled. But, the guns I saw were definitely not cold blued. I don't know what it was but it wasn't shiny like hot blue, so who knows. I've had the plain black finish in my head since I first read it in Johnson's book back when I was a kid and believed everything I read. I really did believe I saw two of them. But memories can be faulty. I saw both guns back in the 60's. My face is red.
