Latest acquisition - Reblued 1937

Ice · 05-01-2009, 05:20 PM

Frank and Postino, thank you for letting me know that the character is an 's'.

MFC, thank you for telling me that the finish should be rust blued and strawed; also for the magazine info.

John, thank you for your comments about the finish and agreeing that it would be acceptable to refinish the gun. What I meant by 'not buffed too much' was that all the marks were readily visible and the gun didn't look like a smooth bar of soap like so many I've seen. I bought the P08 as a project gun at a cheap shooter price. I've already shot it and it functions perfectly with fine accuracy.

Yes, I am going to refinish it in rust blue and restraw the parts. I will post before and after photos if its not against forum rules in 3 - 4 weeks and if anyone is interested.

Thanks to all

Charlie
