Pic 11 makes me think it is. What do YOU think?

Sure looks like a different hue.

Looks suspect, but would need much better pictures to tell or even be slightly interested!

The color and the lines of the proofmark are what makes me wonder

I would say no from Pic 11, but the pics are not that great.

YUP, REBLUED. THE 'PROOF' MARKS SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY BLUE, THE TOP 'LINE' LOOKS 'WASHED' ALSO

Looks suspect to me. But I am no expert.

Y'all have way better eyes than me...Looks like the guy took the pix from 8' away to cover that very fact.

Have you asked the seller and get the right to return for full refund including shipping both ways if it proves to be a reblue??

Reblued. As Mike Wiskey states, somebody buffed the proofmark.

I have to agree with Mike, I think it's a re-blue.

Has the purple hue of a reblue on the receiver.

The real question is if it's a decent reblue will it effect the value of a field grade 42 much.

But the Owner Has Not Stated that It was Orig Or Reblued So What is the Problem he Just Stated It Is in very nice Shape And Compared to Some People I know That are that Old he's Correct [:I]quote:Originally posted by bpost
