E9 Frame Finish?

[Decado]

I didn't know where in this forum to post this question but since what I have read says the E9 is an "economy" version of the K9 I thought I would get better answers here...anyway, my question is what finish is on the frame of my duo tone E9, I am picking it up tomorrow , it has the stainless looking lower and black slide, I have read that the E pistols are carbon steel vs the stainless that the K9 is, so I'm wondering if the E9 is carbon steel what did kahr use to finish the lower frame.

Here's a screen shot from the Kahr website (circa Jan. 1997 via http://wayback.archive.org )

Good find Greg. Checking out that weight gives an appreciation for what a fine firearm it is and its all metal too.

Thank you Greg, that answered my question!

I picked it up today from my ffl, it clearly says stainless steel on the frame, does anyone know what the pin underneath the slide lock is for? I don't remember the 2 K9's I had having that pin there.
