Without sounding brazen, it would be a piece of cake for me to accomplish! This has been asked before, Jesse Burke of the old forum asked this question 3 years ago, lol! The strawing is an oxide that is VERY subject to degradation by handling, holstering, bright lights etc. This is exactly the reason that you see many Imperial Lugers that are 90% bluing and 20% strawing. If I was going to do something on this order, I would prefer seeing it gold plated, but that brings into problems with added thickness to fitted parts. Once you see a brand new rust blued Luger, you realize it is so pretty and so resilient and provides a beautiful contrast to the fire blue and strawed parts you really come to appreciate, at least I do, the combination of these fantastic colors. A strawed Luger would be much too much for my palate! The gold plated engraved Luger on Tales of the Gun video really set me off! I loved it! Next thing someone will come up with is to Straw the main parts, fire blue the small parts and rust blue the screws and springs! lol hahahah ak ak.... ak ak ak Thor <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />
