Just for grins, I have posted a picture of a CRT getter flash... It is an evaporated coating of barium deposited on the
inside wall of the glass, to "pump" residual gas after the CRT is sealed. In this tube, the gun parts also look fairly shiny, but that is not what you are looking for... the getter flash is visible through a small rectangular window in the gray dag coating. It is shiny, and in this tube, exhibits some "rainbow" color around the edge.
Note: this tube uses cream colored ceramic supports for the gun elements, rather than the clear glass support rods seen in your CRT.
