Looking at purchasing a luger.

I'm definitly not an expert at whether or not it has been refinished or not. But, to me, it looks refinished. I base this on the fact that it appears by the photo's that there is relatively no holster wear. This is a major warning flag.

If you can, take a mag light and magnifying glass and look at the finish. Under light, does the finish have a rusted/blued look?? That's one way to tell.

To me $900-$1,000 is way too much for a refinished Luger. But it might not be to you.

Just remember that there are other Lugers out there and you don't have to settle for this one particular one.
