Besides Ted, I know of several guys back east that can make a luger look like new - 98%, no wear, no corner cut etc, there is always ways to tell, for one thing, seldom do you find a luger with such clean lines plus its markings crisp, etc.

It is possible, but there should still be patina and oxidation. Unless of course it is an older restore, but most of the early ones did not use proper rust or salt bluing.
