Luger Forum noob here, 1st post.
After multiple google searches I discovered there are waay more "re-strawing is so easy" posts than actual "how-to re-straw" posts.
Got a handle on the theory and gave it a try. Absolutely shocked how nicely small parts color up using a heat gun. (..toaster oven directions got me nowhere, almost gave up).
Not molesting a collectable Luger.. picked up one of the Russian battlefield pick-ups back in the early '90s. Protruding frame rails had been
very crudely filed when refurbed.. minor pitting throughout, not so minor pitting in a few areas, orig grips replaced by the cheesiest plastic grips I've ever seen. Numbers matching though (except mag) and the bore looks serviceable. Always intended to make it a nice looking shooter. Just getting around to it.
Thanks to Luger Forum this pistol is making progress.
