   Either sweat (most likely) or blood has been left on it and it has rusted away. Just my thought. Depends on your budget

   You have a 'solid black finish with freckling' - and that's straight off the internet. The originals had that too, you just got a lot of 'freckling' - you lucky bastard :) Never seen a 'case...

    Cheers mate - a gun is like a hammer, it's just a tool and like any tool it needs to be kept in reasonable nick to keep doing its job. Sometimes a gun can be a sex symbol and the factory it came...

    You cant blue that action. In the 1970's they finished them differently. If you try to blue it it will go purple. Dont do it. An option would be to cerakote it, or just leave it as it is. It's an...

    My mid-80's M94 had a "case coloured" action. I think it's done by heating and dousing in oil or something like that? It has a rainbow look similar to spilt oil/diesel 214147
