My discussion with an advanced Luger collector was regarding the overall well used finish condition of the Siamese pistols. His story about the outdoor dockside storage which caused the poor finish and rust was new to me.
Some years ago I recall seeing a Siamese Artillery Banner Luger in very nice condition with blue and strawed parts. This memory snapshot has made me consider if the dockside storage is true and the cause of the condition of most of the Siamese Luger we see.
