Seemed pretty early for the bright finish but looked very legit.

LARGER B FOR BRIGHT BLUE: the bright blue finish was an option in the post war satin blue era. Always look for the large fancy font 'B' following the barrel serial #. It can be stamped sideways if in a barrel shroud. It is a larger B than the one used to simply indicate a blued part that precedes the serial #.
