Doug:

Thanks for the picture showing a very good example of the "halo" effect. This at least gives me a much better understanding of the this term. In looking at my AE, I do not notice the distinct shadow or "halo", but I'm not sure if I should be looking in certain light conditions to amplify the effect or not?

Pete, I did look at the bore again and it is in exceptional condition; no rust, no pitting, it's bright with sharp lands and grooves.

I will take some additional photos, hopefully with a little better clarity, for your evaluation this weekend. I do want to get Albert some additional photos of the front sight in order to gain his insights into the fire blue, which I understand should be on the front sight.

Doug, I live in western (northern area) of Iowa. I live almost exactly 500 miles straight west of Chicago, if that help?. I may take a trip sometime this summer to Simpson's and have Brad take a look at this and other Lugers I have for his comments.

Thanks so much to all of you for your honest opinions and comments. I can't tell you enough how appreciated they are and how they are assisting me and hopefully others gain in their knowledge.

Best Regards,
Bob
