Probably for the "purist" there is little or no difference between engraving and refinishing. I can respect that and agree there is a beauty in a Luger that has never been matched by any other handgun. Put it side by side with any other and, in almost all cases, we have the beauty and the beast.
I do believe, however, that not a single one of us would refuse to add one of the engraved Krieghoff's to our collection if we could swing it.
I admit, that is somewhat an apples and oranges thing though because there is a lot of difference between something being a historical presentation piece verses being "decorated".
I will look forward to seeing what Maestro digs up on this beautiful Luger as I am sure he will not let it rest in mystery.
