Real or redone case colors??

Here's a gun redone by Delgreco some years ago. It wasn't fired after the restoration:

I would say they are the real deal. Very typical Remington cyanide colors and pattern. I have an original skeet gun that is a perfect match.

Someone has to explain to me how, if the gun was purchased around 1930, broken shortly after purchase, then put in a closet and never touched until the early 2000's, how did it get Remington (or anyone's) cyanide colors?

It could be just a family lore, not factual.

A serial number would be a start.
