Default Re: Recoloring marks?!?

The coloring in the date, proofmarks and so forth may look pretty but are not desired by some collectors. We feel that additional whitening of these areas can hide counterfeiting or faking. Only the safety area had white on the original Lugers. And this may have a yellowish color due to aging.
