You guys can think what you like but I have had a half a dozen Luger balls of rust that created a lot less pitting than seen on this pistol and to just clean the basic rust off and out of the pits took off most of the blue. Pitting like that is not sprinkled on by fairies. It is accompanied by much more minor but pervasive surface rust ALL OVER the pistol. As most of us know..even a minor rust spot that might appear on the surface of a smooth blued pistol will leave a mark when you take it off. Gimmie a break here! Original finish? That's just silly.
