Syd, thanks for the reply. You will never insult me by asking a question. The gun has not been re-blued. This according to the gunsmith that examined it and the small amount of wear. It's funny the more information I get from the forum and in my own research the more questions I come up with. This process is fascinating and addictive at the same time. As best I can tell from my research there were about 3 million lugers made from 1908-1945 give or take a few hundred thousand. Does anybody have an approximation on how many were black widows? Any guess on value? I want to make sure I am properly insured.
