Re: Here's the reason I've been asking these questions....
dc8ray,
To restore the Luger back to it's original condition can be done, but it would be very expensive; much more than the pistol would be worth. Also, the process to remove the plating can effect the base metal if not done perfectly. IF there is no family history to the pistol, try to sell it and then buy another similar that is in the condition you want. Although, the plated pistol has no real "collectable" value, they do make excellent shooters and the original history is still with the pistol if we only knew what it was.
