cracked slide or cracked finish? g23

For surface hardened parts, there is a specific Rockwell Superficial Hardness test.
It uses a small brale penetrator to make a very small indention.
 
Clean the slide well in kerosene. Dry with a rag. Rub chalk on the suspected area, tap slide. If its cracked the kerosene will come out of the crack and show up well in the chalk.
