the white stuff is a turn off...

What does all this say about the wood? If the metal has been reblued, why? What I'm saying is the stock appears mint, why would the metal be in a condition that someone would decide to "fix" it.
Question for more advanced collectors than I- When did Mauser or the stock company start bluing their bayonet mounts? My 1936 and 1939 Mauser bayonet mounts are in a grayish/silver color. Is there a documented regulation as to the finish on the mount? Just curious. On byf 42/43/44s, I know they are blued. If you look at this one, inside the "H" band, it looks unnaturally black. Just curious, it may not be a salient point.
