A very nice pair of H&R handguns (Model 777 Ultra and Model 195) sold tonight for a nice price. Just a moment...

I hear this about so many different types of guns from so many different places. That gun looked a lot more collectable than the one I bought. So, it costs a bunch more. These things ain't dime store items, anymore.

I am now the owner of a 1939 era, Sportsman. It is a bit rough on the outside, but nice on the inside where it counts. Everything seems to be in very good working order. I would like to take it apart and perhaps rust blue the barrel and certainly the cylinder, but there are an amazing number...

What type of bluing did these have, especially the early ones? Photos look like they could be rust blued, but I'm not sure how to identify some of the other methods like carbonia bluing that Colt used.
