Does this Reising blueing look factory original to you?


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon everybody, I bought a Reising from a well known seller about a month ago and had a question.

It was advertised as original blueing, but looking again at the photos (and comparing them to photos of a previous early model Reising I sold), it appears to be off.

The gun I just bought^

(Compared to this one only 300 guns higher in production) The blueing on the gun which I believe has the factory finish looks less uniform, imperfect, and thinner). I was trying to get a nice example with original blueing to potentially loan to a local military museum I volunteer at and as such paid a premium on this example, but now I’m not so sure and might resell it. 
What do you gents think?
