Those are some awesome photos. The safety lever is quite amazing. It looks like it has been either melted or brass blobs of brazing. All in all, I would say that it is probably a lost cause. There are folks who would dispute this with me I am sure. Unfortunately, once the pitting gets to a certain depth it is futile to grind any more. I think that if you could take it down you could sandblast the individual parts and have a matte finish pistol. Wether it would ever function is another story. A rather gruesome picture. I don't think it will make Luger of the month but there are some anti gun people who would become aroused to see that in a fold-out format I believe. Since I love the beauty and grace of the Luger pistol I find the picture series quite disturbing. There should be a warning 'Caution the following pictures are graphic in nature.'
