Thanks guys for the replies.
I'm a little bit more knowledgeable....
About the halo effect and the pics...I'm not what anyone would consider a good photographer (took me about 30 shots to get 3 good ones) <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
Thanks for the compliment on my Luger...I included this pic of the whole pistol. I inherited this Luger. It's got it's original finish (never been re-worked,re-blued..), all parts have matching ser# incl magazine. Didn't really knew what it was until I started looking for info on Lugers.
Anyway, Thanks again everyone.
Marc
