Decades and decades
The original finish that was used on the RIA M1903 was parkerized and not blued. The parkerized finish is much more?æappealing.?æ
Absolutely, the parkarized finish helps hold the oil. If you don't apply oil it will eventually rust. I usually spray the finish with CLP (you can buy at Walmart in the gun section). Let it dry overnight and wipe off the excess.
it is a matte finish that is very durable--not shiny so you don't have to worry about the finish as much. Less oiling/rust worries.

leave off the 19 on the serial number as this is my 1957 manufactured model 12 riot
Neither. The M1 Carbine had a Parkerized finish- sort of a flat gray with hints of green. It is a phosphate finish used on military firearms from the WW 2 period.
since serial number indicates made in 1917, I presume the finish would be blue. However, many WW1 45's were parkerized for use in WW11.............
