are you sure it isn't bluing
First question would be are you sure it isn't bluing that has been worn off? Either way, the gun, depending on the money he wants to spend can be touched up or completely refinished. Have him check with a smith for prices.

Use a small magnet to check the frame. If it sticks - it's steel, blue it. If it doesn't stick (grip frame) - it's alloy, use AlumaHide from Brownell's.
