Original M1917 S&W revolvers were blued. Many received refurbishment at U.S. arsenals during and after the WWII period and were Parkerized in the process. This matte finish varies in color from grey to nearly black to olive drab. There should be an arsenal mark on the left of the frame for those that received this treatment officially.
