The strawed extractors were on some BLING Lugers (Ron had it right) that were mirror polished as were the muzzle. Most of those Lugers I called "Total Doll Jobs" was just a way of sprucing up a SHOOTER LUGER, they do NOT in any way resemble any know Authentic Luger Variation. The Early American Eagles and Commercial Lugers did have a strawed extractor but they also have strawed toggle locks that make them a bit unique. 99% of the time I strive for full authentic restorations, but sometimes a client wants something different. As long as it is a mismatched Shooter Luger, I usually accomodate them. Example of a TDJ or Total Doll Job, Salt Blued with mirror strawed parts including the extractor.
