My new Luger
 

Hi gang

Here are some pixs of my new Swiss Luger.

I have one little problem

You can see a light brown smudge on the grip. I figured it was just dirt so I went at it with a drop of water, a toothpick and a toothbrush. To my surprise it's not dirt, it's the plastic (phenolic?) fraying. So I don't think it can be removed, how would I hide it?

Stephen,

This is just my thought and probably what I would do to fix it. I'm not recommending it.

I would get some two part quick set epoxy (the 20 min. variety). I would take a tooth pick and ever so slightly. dab a very small amount of the epoxy on the frayed spots. And use the tip of the tooth pick , following the groove of the checkering, work it in gently and smooth it down, being sure not to smear it. Be sure to remove any excess. I think that once the frayed spots are saturated, they will blend in.

Be slow and precise... just my approuch to the problem.

I had the same problem with one of my 06/29... I just changed the part. They are not numbered and there are still original spare parts that circulate. So I don't think it affects the value or that it would be considered as irregularly tempered. In any case, I kept the worn set as well.

Cheers .
