Have one 30+ years old NIB with smooth metal (non-park) area on both sides of slide turning plum (as on old SuperBlackhawks). Noticed first time today and wondering if this is common or a finish flaw. Thanks.

EDITHello Lefty. Let me be perfectly clear. There are MANY ALLOYS of steel just ask a Knife maker. I did not imply the slide was NOT steel . What I did imply was the content of other metals like Chromoly or other Steel alloys most time these trace elements are mixed/ALLOYED to make for TOUGH or HARDER steel.
Most likely the ALLOY of the Slide some people Love the PLUM color but others Hate the fact it does not look like every other gun they own. My suggestion is leave it as is.
I neither love it nor hate it, nor would I change it. Just curious as to how it happens while in a box in a safe all these years. Thanks.
