Not painted, just a rich bluing. The gun still had some of the grease on it as well, so it wasn't refinished by anyone after being sold off. It either came from the factory with such nice bluing (which considering how mint the internals and barrel is, I wouldn't be surprised), or when the Czechs got their hands on it, they refinished it (which I also wouldn't be surprised about either as they did make excellent quality firearms).

My Soviet Collection updated 20/12/16
Well I finally got a Nagant Revolver. Made in 1943 at Tula. It appears to be all matching (haven't completely stripped it to the bare bones). My first impression is it isn't that bad a revolver. Most reviews online seem to indicate it is the worst revolver ever made, but just from handling it, it doesn't seem too bad. Maybe once I start shooting it might be a different story. I paid a little more than I likely should have, but that being said I wanted one for a while and I don't mind forking out a little extra cash to get what I want.
I sold the M44, so now all my collection is missing is a M44 and SVT-38. Odds are I won't bother with both of them. I have had a bunch of M44s and they don't seem to catch my fancy, and I am not willing to fork out the money at the moment to get a SVT-38. Since my interest has focused mainly into WWI, this side of my collection will be more a side show than anything else for the next while.
From the top down, M91 Infantry Rifle manufactured in 1926 by Tula on a 1898 Tula receiver. A M91 Dragoon manufactured in 1927 by Tula, Finnish Capture. M1895 Nagant Revolver made in 1943 at Tula. M91/30 made in 1939 by Izhevsk. M38 Carbine made in 1943 by Izhevsk. TT-33 made in 1945 by Izhevsk. SVT-40 made in 1941 by Tula. And finally a 1950 manufactured SKS.
