One thing to keep in mind is that in the firearms industry, the bluing that is applied to barrels, actions and other parts is known as "Rust Bluing" and so quite possibly could revert to a rust appearance if stored in an inappropriate environment, even if the boiler is in fact brass. It could well be that it is just the bluing that has returned to rust!?!?
