blue or no?

G.T. · 09-09-2025, 01:34 PM

Hello to all, I have a question that maybe some of you could answer and enlighten me? As it has been noted, we believe the sear safetys were all installed at the armorers level, and not factory installed. But, were they blue, or left in their case color hardening finish? The reason I ask, is the police lugers covered a pretty good span of time, and you would think that they are pretty consistant in their installation effort for not being factory?. Anyway, dig'em out boys and let me know, Blue or Not Blue! Thanks in advance, best to all, til...lat'r....GT

All 9 of my police P-08's (Weimar and Nazi) have blued sear safeties, the rivets are typically in the white.

Same with mine.

The safety spring blue or unfinished; the rivet in the white.
