Nikola, welcome,

Don't worry about the temporary lack of love. Do not be frightened away; rather, heed the advice of experience and adjust your post as necessary. I say that it is easy to break rules when one is ignorant of them. Simply review section rules and stickies and allow them to guide you. Use the search feature to find information about topics/issues you wish information about.

It is difficult to say whether original from your pics--much higher resolution is necessary to maximize the accuracy of any assessment you receive regarding your pistol. However, if the purple/plum color of the barrel extension is disturbing to you, it may be original after all. This shift in color occasionally happens, over time, to some parts of some pistols. It appears when variables in hardness, alloy, and specifics of the bluing process combine in just the right way. It is not necessarily cause for alarm. Other members with more experience will review these statements I've made, so in case what I've noted is not correct, peer review will remedy that.

Maybe it is just me, but due to a difference in languages, and translations, I understood Nikola to be asking about the color because the Luger is up for sale and HE is interested in purchasing it for himself. I think that he is asking for help on this luger so that he doesn't get ripped off.

I may well be totally incorrect on this, but that is how I interpreted the post.

You are right. My bad.
