I find the melted lousy buffing and wavy surfaces of the Aimco Lugers way less attractive, even if they are shiny, to the pricise plano-flat surfaces and precision machining of German work. For example, the sideplate on the Luger shown above. My suggestion for anyone who wants a good silver-colored Luger is to take a nice condition shooter with poor finish but good surface qualities, and have it NP3 coated by Robar Industries, at about 300 dollars or so.
