Vern,
I really am missing the point. The blue is completly worn through on the lower left corner of the hump on the side plate and there is definitely wear on the leading edge. I don't mind being pointed to the FGS site, but it doesn't have a thing to do with the obvious signs of wear on this Luger. I am finding it increasingly difficult to understand how you can pick up on a darkened area in front of the side plate and can't see visible flaws in the finish on the side plate. I know you are an avid collector of Portuguese Lugers and associated info, but why is Albert's pristine gun accepted without reservation while this Navy is labled a restoration when it exhibits a lesser but honest finish indicitive of being well cared for just like Alberts?
The kind words were sincere, I do appreciate your vigilence.
