Most might think that the plum color on the Luger is unusual, but I have an original finish P-38 that has almost the exact same color but a little darker. It came this way from the factory and was the result of the inability during WWII to maintain high quality control standards. During peace time the bluing process was more stringently maintained and any reddish or plum colored pistols either were scrapped or reworked. (I actually enjoy a little variation..but Ted, no pink ones, ok?)
