white lettering
 

im sorry if this has been posted 15 years ago by someone but I didnt see it.

I was wondering what the original manufacturer's used to white the engraving of for example the dwm on the toggle and the serial numbers etc.

I was also wondering if there are modern day products refinishers are using for it becuase I might like to refinish my mismatched commercial for giggles one day.

Hi Skye,

I doubt DWM did anything to "white" their logo on the toggle.

The white that you see in modern photos is from a "Laquer Stick" available at places like Brownell's... It's only a temporary thing, and can be cleaned out of the grooves.

The only white lettering on a Luger that was done by DWM was the safety marking.

White out pen works great and cleans out with any light oil.

thankyou sir

I wonder why that extractor is in the white

It isn't in the white, it is "strawed" (heat colored) and incorrect. Probably indicates that the entire gun has been "enhanced".
