New Blue

Yeah I couldn't afford a rust blue job anyway. I think he used the stuff like on Youtube where they dip it in the stuff that kills tree roots. Whatever that process is. He does both kinds and I am really pleased at how it turned out. Now its the same color but nice with no scratches. I was surprised when he showed me it had some pits in the barrel and the side plate was kinda dinged up. He fixed all of that and you can't tell it. He is a good gunsmith.

Definitely an improvement. I can easily understand your feeling on this Luger when it arrived. I have to take pride in my "things", and if not, then fix it or get rid of it. Life is too short to have an ugly Luger!!
