Default Correction - DWM 1916 (not Erfurt 1916) - Finally

Here it is..........my first Luger. I apologize for the pics, but I don't have proper still life lighting yet. Some sort of have a greenish cast......its really a deep blue. Also, if you notice, there are areas with an underlying red cast. It depends on the light. In regular light it isn't very noticable I've heard this can occur (and did occur in some manufacturing situations) if the bluing salts/ingredients weren't mixed properly. I would guess that it is a re-blue, but when or where, no one knows. I also don't have a proper fixture to mount it on yet so I didn't get any good shots of the front and back straps. There the polish and finish are worn like you would expect any blued firearm to be.

Under the barrel there is a mark below the SN which is either a B2 or an 82. I need to find my magnifier.
