strange luger

That's what the gold coloring is called, because it looks like straw. All Lugers had their small parts (trigger, safety lever, extractor, takedown lever etc) strawed until mid 1937. After that all parts were blued. All your parts are blued (another indicator of a rework as the original pistol would have been strawed), but had they been strawed it would have been a sign that someone other than the EG did it, as they certainly would NOT have.
