Nice to see your reply, Timn, and that you and yours are feeling better! The flu ain't fun......

I'm a hobby tinkerer and collector, and claim no special knowledge, but I know I've seen original early Lugers that have a definite blue color to them, and as far as I know , all early Lugers were rust blued. Of course, no-one knows what they looked like the day they left the factory...I've heard speculation that age and natural UV light may have made them "bluer" over the years.
