I recall seeing Lugers in the early 1960's that had the exact same type of reblue done on them...... a deep and very shiney "tank" blue if I remember the correct term used then. I seem to also recall that a lot of gunsmiths offered these reblues for not a lot of money; almost like an Earle Shibe paint job offer.

Whoever did the Luger under discussion here did a decent job of it without the heavy-handed buffing so often seen on a lot of reblued guns. It's a nice Luger worth having.
