Sure this must have been refinished
 

I like this Erfurt, but I am sure it's refinished. The sharp edges looked buffed away.

Maybe this could be my .30 Luger shooter?
Navy mag? A repro no doubt.

Jasta2, the Erfurt assuredly is a buff and reblue job, without the slightest doubt. The second luger is a common 1920 commercial which at the asking price is attractive but .30 luger is expensive ammunition and getting harder to get. If it was a 9mm it would be very attractive.

Buying a lot of .30 Luger brass. Getting back into reloading.
Tks, Bill

I agree with Herb. There is no doubt that this Erfurt has been heavily buffed and refinished and that "Navy" magazine is an early Mec-Gar modern replacement.

Yes, indeed - heavy-handed refirbishment.

On Wikipedia next to refinished there should be a picture of that Luger. All the rounded edges make it more obvious than most.

I would be advertising it as "Deburred and Radiused for Combat Carry!!"

:rolleyes:

Why rebuff? May sound obvious but it may have different meaning depending on the luger or owner! Are they always re-blued??``Eric
