P08,
maybe the term 'washout' confuses me. When I looked at the original picture of this Luger, it looked too blue to tell if the strawing was good or not. Frankly, I could not tell if the parts were blued or if the photography was bad. But the picture that you posted, comparing the two chamber M2's was very good. Your picture of the original M2 that is on auction did not have that strong blue hue to it. I notice that this phenomenon occurs quite frequently on auctions.
