Geno,
I don't think so. I think it's a legitimate case hardening color.

YES, I think it is definitely a Torch job.
Probably ok structually though.

shoot it! if it cracks or shatters, then you know for sure it's a high heat bone charcoal job, done after factory...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Ed,
Shouldn't you read some authoritative gunsmithing books before talking about Color case hardening and torching??

old Ed Landers says that if do a proper bone/charcole case hardening job you won't have any problems.that you get in to problems when you spot anneal frames while doing torch coloring jobs.you essentially take the temper out and soften the metal and this can cause premature wear and part failure.if you anneal the frame by heating to different temps(this is what gives the colors you see on a torch color job)this will cause metal fatigue and possible stretching of the frame.

stallones: i have been reading now for about 65 years. gunsmithing books used to be one of my favorites. one of the many things i learned from my readings, is that there is no substitute for experience.
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Ed,
What in the world would make you think that the receiver in question would shatter after casehardening? If you have read all the gunsmith manuals you claim than you should have at least walked away from the experience with a basic knowledge of metallurgy and principles of heat treatment which you seem to lack. Granted the majority of these manuals don't deal with the subject of bone and wood charcoal color case hardening very accurately, but than again, neither do you.
Regards,
Alex Johnson
