DON'T TOUCH IT
Thor,
I recently bought a 1917 LP-08 with original nice bluing. But the sideplate was the wrong serial number. I got a side plate with the correct serial but it had real bad bluing. Like a dumbell, I had the whole gun blued and I have been kicking myself ever since.
I know guys who have had 1906 Russian Lugers reblued by professionals and have regretted it ever since. I have heard of you not rebluing some Lugers and I have respected you for denying yourself income for the sake of principle. You are a member of a dying group of real professionals. Don't do it. Follow your heart.
Just my two cents worth of opinion.
Big Norm
