Not all triggers were nitre blued
VH triggers and trigger guards were nitre blued. DH and higher triggers were nickel plated except AAH and higher were normally gold plated. .

Forgive me Dave. I read too quickly and thought you were asking about trigger Guards.
What Dean said is correct about triggers. Grades below D were blued.

That can't be right!! Bachelders finished the triggers on my 1930 vintage 20-gauge VH-Grade bright.

I read in Parker Story that triggers were fire blued.

Does Niter bluing take differently on different metals? The piece I saw was much "brighter". It was not on a Parker, but Definitely NOT what I have seen here. I would like to have my trigger guard done as close to original as practical, but don't want to have to strip and re-polish it either. Is all niter bluing the same?
