Looking at a Model 725 where bolt body is blued and bolt handle is not. Legit?

Typically, the bolt handle should be blued. Important in this case to is be sure the bolt matches the serial number.

The visible part of the bolt body as seen in the loading port should be silver, with the bolt handle blued. Bolt knobs can show blue wear when used a lot.

I'm guessing the bolt has been reblued, the final colors reversed per customer wishes.
