It’s difficult to tell for sure from a picture, especially a small one, however I would speculate from what I can see is that the barrels do not appear to be either cold or hot blued. Again, that’s just speculation but the barrels look like a correct rust blue. The receiver is harder to tell but likely has the same finish as the barrels. I would think it would require some touch-up of the engraving after polishing for re-case hardening. I can assure you there have been a lot of guns restored that didn’t start out looking as nice as this one does. At least from what I can see from the single small picture. Are the other pics from the auction still available? That would help. I wish you good luck on acquiring this gun!
