New Blue
Ok I bought this Luger from Legacy. They had doubts that the blue was original. Its an F code 1939 Banner with the Simson side plate. Fairly rare but he reduced the price to $1750 and gave me free shipping. So I bought it. When it
got here the finish was terrible. Looked like it was spray painted with flat black then gone over with 0 steel wool. It
shoots perfect but made me want to gag every time I looked at it. So being a shooter/newbie type, I found a gunsmith to solve the problem. His shop was kinda cluttered but he opened a drawer and had hundreds of the stones in all different grits and I knew he was my guy. I told him I wanted it blued but not to remove all the markings. He said that is the way he did them. Anyway my choices for a bluejob were $700 for rust blue
and $300 for whatever he did. I went for the $300. Its a nice blackish like it was but none of the scratches. I love it now.
