Many collectors do not want to see a whitening of the markings on the Luger other than 'Gesichert' because it can mask a restoration or a alteration to the gun. I think that this is a valid argument. While, personally, I think that it does enhance the appearance, I don't think that I would do it to any of my collector quality Lugers. But I would not reject any Luger that I thought would be otherwise correct.
