Dieter,

Thanks for the information on how your E. German rework shoots. If this "K" Date shoots as well as it looks, it will be a great shooter. I feel that this pistol is another Luger variation, but also one that can be shot without losing any value if maintained properly. During the rework, the E. Germans did not buff any of the metal before blueing, so the blue is a little on the dull side very similar to the Russian dip blue, but a little better. I have been thinking about having Ted remove the existing blue, polish the metal a little and salt blue it back to it's rework condition. This way, the pistol will look nice, and maintain the rework appearance. When I get home again, I plan to shoot this one and I will let you know how it shoots.
