Zormpas, congratulations on a good looking Mauser Luger.

It is hard to judge the finish from the photographs due to the lighting.

As you've surely read, many of us do not recommend shooting all matching original finish Lugers because of the potential for damaging an original numbered part. Your results may vary.

I particularly like these Mauser made Lugers for their precision and tight fit. They display a mechanical "art" that couldn't be reproduced today for many times what they cost.

From what I can see, it looks like you did well. Looking forward to your pictures. As you know, use natural shaded (soft) sunlight for illumination; a tripod and close focus mode on the camera.

Marc
