[quote] Ron, would "very durable black enamel" rub off with finger nails as gssmith1986 stated in his first email? <hr></blockquote>
In all probability, not. Depends on how thickly it was applied and how much surface preparation (degreasing) was accomplished before enameling. I had one such Luger that I could flake off some of the coating under the barrel where it had stacked up a bit around the serial number. But the rest of the gun required a lot of elbow grease and 0000 steel wool to clean it up. Looked pretty nice when I was finished. It was a war horse, worn a little on the high spots but overall not too bad.
