1. What lugers have halo's?
a. those made before salt bluing
b. markings before bluing
2. what is halo's - banging of the metal to other metal and it causes an indentation that spreads the metal, in short, it makes a halo

personally I have seen good halos on the oddest lugers and other times, very nice looking pre-1937 (??) have almost no halo's. simsons seem to have lousy halos... why? unsure
Ed,
what you write is true , but way short of comprehensive.
It is way too simple for such a complicated subject.

There, you "good deed" is now punished!
