Finnish Lugers come phosphate finished (Parkerization is a trademarked process) as well.
--Dwight<hr /></blockquote>While Finnish Lugers may be found with a phosphate finish, is there any evidence that they were originally made that way? The Portugese byf 42 Lugers with phosphate finish left the factory that way while Finnish Lugers were acquired at a time when rust blue was the standard. I'd be very surprised to learn that any Finnish Luger with a phosphate finish wasn't refinished. (Too many "finishes" in this one!)
