THATS the $64,000 question...how to get that elusive true blue you see on early Lugers...I haven't seen any commercial solutions that match it, theyre all a lot blacker. Those who can replicate it won't tell anyone else how they do it. Also, on older Lugers you can see the grain of the polish in the metal, which usually disappears after a few cardings with modern solutions.
