1916 Erfurt question...

Hi Dwight,
On some of the G-Dat Police Lugers, as well as a few of the Weimar Police Lugers, the notch for the magazine safety was filled in on the side of the frame. On these Lugers the frame was reblued and the inside of the Luger will be blue'd instead of the normal polished (white). There are no refurbish stamps on these to my knowledge. They still retain the sear safety. The only way you know this was done to these is the hole is still present behind the trigger and the inside of the lower frame is blue instead of the normal polished appearance. So, I know I've talked with people that see the blue inside and immediately say the gun has been recently reblued, which is not correct. -- Bill
