Does the stock match?
Original production did not number the floor plate nor bands... perhaps post war re purposing, re-bluing?

The stock doesn't match, the metal part are not re blued. I am not sure if you are familiar to the conservation process? I boiled the metal part to convert patina to original rust bluing.

Watched the video...
Cool... the orig worn rust blue.... is "converted" & "refurbed" by steaming and then carded with a wire wheel.... The process was impressive for sure! ,,,, sounds like a re-blue to me.
Was a dou 41 originally even rust blued?

Negative, the process simply lifts the active rust to the surface for removal via soft carding. Doesn’t touch or add to original finish.

Moreover, the "wire wheel" is extremely soft - like he touches it with his bare hand. You could used any sort of brush but the set up in the video is faster.
