Shooter vs collector

If that is the 1936 I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it appears to be a refinish. Telltale signs, it should be rust blued and some of the sharp edges are not sharp anymore. The proof marks look to be washed out as well. Nice shooter though, I wouldn't kick it out of the safe.

That gun is definitely in the "shooter" category.

That Luger is a shooter category gun, but a very handsome shooter!!! I would be proud to own and enjoy it.
