Certain bluing processes were akin to a "coating". And the "blue" peels away over time. Old Winchesters are noted for this. This may be the case with your gun. The good news is that they didn't buff the gun much before bluing. A pro can make it "old and right" with modest effort. And Bachelder would be a good choice.
