Is a re-blue Luger like this, not a restoration, but just a nice clean re-blue re-straw effort, worth the price??... Or, in other words, what would someone pay for a "Ready to go! Nice shoot'in Luger?" Everyone always wants the $600.00 shooter, but problem is, they're always made for the scraps of scraps... They could never be economically restored even with the best efforts at the lowest prices.. On the other hand, a miss-match decent donor unit, and maybe a few decent parts, with all tuned to work as new, and look at least, like a nice Luger should, could maybe have a nitch market?? So, you don't chase every ding, and the blue and straw are nice, but maybe not perfect...
I don't want to even suggest that a gun like this compares to a full blown restoration, and I don't think the gentlemen that do the outstanding restoration work we've seen here, can ever charge enough, compared to the time spent on task...
But, most every one likes a nice shooter?... Let me know your thoughts on it, I know how much effort went into this Erfurt.. and I was amazed at the result... Maybe there will be more?/... best to all, til...lat'r....GT
