Quintin,
You have done very well, one of the nicer ones I have seen. The Brazilian contract Luger is, in my opinion, one of the rare gems that is grossly underappreciated. Surviving examples are usually in rough condition or have been refinished. My collecting interests are mostly in Imperial era contract Lugers. Consequently, the Brazilian was one of my goals early on. My first one was attractive but a bit over buffed so not really well refinished. However, my second one is one of the prime pieces in my collection. In the two gun photo you can clearly pick out which one was my first one! I no longer have the first one, and I have added a glamour shot of my second, and current, example...it has not been refinished.
