As for your two questions:
“Do you think the barrels were re-blued?” Seems so to me but there are plenty of experts here (starting with Dustin above) who can answer that definitively.
And …
“Should I get them re-blued?” That’s a purely personal question and should have a subjective answer. You didn’t ask if I (we) would re-blue them. And that’s probably just as well as you’d get subjective answers with justifications. And there’s nothing wrong with that. These are our guns. We’re the stewards of them for this chapter of their existence and then they go on to the next fellow. Make yourself happy and in so doing make yourself part of the history of the gun. That’s good…and good enough.
Meanwhile, enjoy your fine gun in good health.
