"The inner workings lack the complete bluing I see on my other Luger (byf '41) is this normal?'

Hi Brendan,

Yes it is normal. The 1937s were the last Lugers to be rust blued. If I recall correctly, they started hot salt bluing them in April or May '37. So yours would date from early '37. A very nice 1937 S/42...
