Plum Import marked
 

Did any of the recent dipped blued Lugers come out Plum.

I have a 1940 /42 shooter and the barrel is blue but the reciever/toggle is plum red? Just wonder if this is a redip or original, must be redip becasue the finish is 100%. Don't know if I am going to reblue again or leave it.

Ted,


Over the years, I have seen many '38, '39. and early 1940 Lugers that had the plum-cast to the forward area of the barreled receiver; sometimes including all of the receiver. I have never seen one, where I knew Mauser did the work, that had a plum-colored toggle-train. Only exception being an occassional plum extractor on an other-wise all blue pistol. This is certainly not to say there is not an original one out there with a plum train; just doubtful in my experience. Perhaps, this is one that was re-finished over here, and the bath was allowed to get too hot. If a re-blue; should be easy to spot. Blue plunger on the sear bar, blue trigger lever in the sideplate, blue recoil spring........the usual things the guys don't take apart.
