A Matt or Matte finish is polished, but not to a mirror like degree. Somewhat like a satin finish on wood, it tends to be non-shiny. Of course, blued means the standard black finish used to help protect the metal from rust (it is a form of controlled rusting that produces black iron oxide)
You have to tell us who made it.
The original finish that was used on the RIA M1903 was parkerized and not blued. The parkerized finish is much more?æappealing.?æ
Blue is a type of rust finish
Give me a serial number and I can help. Length of barrel, finish and grip material will help too. serial # is 72728, the length of the barrel is six and one half inches with a blued barrel and a wood grip
It is the type of finish used on the barrel and other metal parts, also known as blue steel. It is delicate and must be wiped if touched, or the fingerprints will make it rust.
The finish is the metal and/or coating of the metal. Stailess steel or polished stainless steel. Bare metal or blued (looks black), colored case hardened.... etc...
Should be marked on the barrel
Stainless is harder.
