Is that a BlackPowder marked 1893, or was the receiver blued later?

Looks great Don! After they age it looks like it was always blued.

Vall,I just assumed it was a re-blue, but It looks like it could have been factory blued,but its not a black powder rifle, Do you suppose that you could special order a blued receiver instead of a cased one?? just wondering i know you could pretty much order what you want in a Winchester of about the same time frame. just wondering !

You could if you wished.
