New Member with Old Commercial Luger (I think.)

Dear Gerald,

Welcome to the forum. Your photo is a bit dark but from what I can see the Luger appears to be in fine condition. I do not see an advantage in refinishing the gun, and it would significantly reduce the value. Moreover, from the strawed (yellow) parts (trigger, mag release), the gun must have a "cold" rust blued finish rather than the "hot" salt blued finish typically used on modern guns. In short, I advise you to leave it as is.

I encourage you to post more photos.
