Cost to reblue a shooter
 

I have a 1920 DWM shooter that performs very well. The finish is only about 30% and the grips are worn. I asked another member here about reblueing but because of health and backlog he could not do it. He mentioned 2 other members who may do the reblue: Charles Danner and Gale Morgan. Could someone give me a ball park cost of a reblue and to also freshen up the grips?
Thank you

Originally, I planned to bid on an item today because I wanted to play reblue it myself. This one, see picture. But people pushed it beyond my reaching, I had to give up.

I guess the subject 1920 DWM being in similar shape? You can reblue it yourself and have some fun.

Depending on condition:
rust blue and straw- $300 to $600.
Grip work $40+

Add shipping both ways.

Re-bluing a shooter is not cost effective; neither is doing it yourself "fun", JMHO.
I used to blue guns for money, and it was the worst job I ever had!

Hot blue jobs cost less, still probably $150-250; but are ugly, also JMHO.

What was it up to/hammer down at??? :confused:

Ad description: "The Mauser C96 is a semi-automatic pistol that was originally produced by German arms manufacturer Mauser from 1896 to 1937. This pistol is in excellent shape.

Hammer was $1K, plus BP and shipping, probably around $1.2K.

Did you try Ted Green? https://members.rennlist.com/lugerman/

I PM'd Thor a few days ago. Because of health and work back logged he was unable to help me. I did look at Charles Dannon website and I may go to him.

Re-bluing a shooter is not cost effective

Yeah, I realize that a shooter reblued will not be cost effective, but I like purty handguns and since I did not pay much for mine I thought it to be feasible.
