Several months ago Jan Still published a long list of Imperial military Lugers and described the "halo" or "frosting" on the barrel serial numbers. It seems that this effect is uniformly found on WW-I DWM military Lugers if they have not been reblued.

An extension of this question: Does the same hold true for 1920 DWM Commercial Lugers? Put another way, does the absence of the "frosting" or "halo" around the barrel SN (on a 1920 DWM Commercial) imply that the gun has been reblued?

Thanks for your comments.
