Very nice work Mr. Olle. It is always difficult(at least for me) to fully evaluate exactly what a "before" handgun looks like from photos. A cold blue touched up gun frequently photos pretty well, especially if oiled, when in person, it is obviously not correct. I own a mixmaster that was cold blue touched up many years ago. It is fine with me, as it is one of my shooters.

I think that you did an excellent job on this Luger, and likely your friend will think so also. The grip screws look to be fire blued....are they? Nice touch!! Thanks for showing us the before and after photos.
