I agree. Although it looks like Thor is quite an artist and does amazingly good work, I have never refinished any of my military surplus arms and prefer to leave them as-is.

Yes, I believe that it has more character...made in the dying days of WWI, used by police or Weimar soldiers between the wars, captured by the Russians, re-worked and issued to a communist police force...quite a history, I'd say. More interesting to me, than some pristine trophy arm that sat in a crate or officer's locker for most of the war. Those types of military surplus arms never appealed to me.
