On the S&W .38, why are the barrel and cylinder a plum color as opposed to the frame which appears to be standard blue?

It looks like it has been refinished at one point in time. What you see on that gun is not rust but the blueing discolored.

It’s hard to tell if it’s been reblued in just the one picture but that plum color doesn’t necessarily mean a reblue. Parts back then were batch blued, not the whole gun together.

It’s fairly common to see plumb color parts in factory finishes, most due to higher levels of silicon in the metal. Others will also say it was blued too hot and left in too long.

Still going to be a great shooter, Model 15s are my favorite.

The plumb color isn’t all that unusual. I have a model 25-7 with a plumb colored cylinder, it’s fairly common with that model and others that I’ve seen.
Buy it, shoot it , Smile !

I have never seen a S&W come from the factory with two different color bluing on it. being the barrel and cylinder makes me wonder something major was done to it, what and why?! I guess I got too many unanswered questions.
