Does your Luger have British proof marks? If it does, that black enamel that they use is really tough to remove. It took me 3 days with 0000 steel wool, acetone and I have forgotten what else to remove it from a Luger back in the 70's. But, on the other hand, once it was off, I had a 95% original finish lurking under there.
