Welcome to the forum. If inherited that Luger, I am sure, has some very special meaning for you, especially if there are any stories that go with it. I am relatively inexperienced but can easily tell that it has been refinished. The heavy buffing may have been done to repair some rusting and light pitting. It is a good looking gun for presentation to friends and neighbors. Do you plan to shoot it?
Lastly, spend some time in the FAQ section as there is a wealth of information there in summary format. It is a must read for new owners.
