Seems many Lugers are plagued by the infamous
"1 million $ chip", right at the upper right of the left grip, just below the safety lever.
I'm no exception.
Member Jim Solomon has repaired 4 or 5 of these for me to date.
Always great work and quick turn around. Reasonable too.
Here is my recent Navy marked Artillery, with about a $2 million chip! Before and after, along with a couple close ups so you can see the extent of the repair. He cleaned them up and touched up a few spots also.
Sorry the pictures are not in order, the picture manager has a mind of its own!
Nice work Jim, and thanks.
