Contrary to the original description, I'd say it's very obviously overbuffed and reblued.
Colt did not rust blue. They used an oven bluing process that involved heating the metal over a smoldering mixture of bone, fish oil, and some other secret ingredients (after degreasing in 150-degree gasoline).
