Missing Halos
I know this topic has probably been beat to death, but I have searched the archives and not found an answer to this question:
Is a lack of any halo on the barrel a 100% reliable indicator that a rust-blued Luger gun is NOT original finish?
(especially 1936-37 rust blue Mausers)?
Say I have a gun that is completely righteous and shows no other signs of being refinished, and has a strong rust patina under the blue, but no visible halo.
Would you ignore the missing barrel SN halo?
Or would you say it must be reblued (no matter how good it looks otherwise)?
