Wes, I don't know...With a re-blue it stops speaking. Sticking with my anology of a masters painting I would have to say they all need a cleaning after a hundred years and sometimes they look as good or better after the cleaning. I have to admit Thor's restorations look a lot better than most of those pistols when they arrive at his shop. I would not advocate re-blueing of a pistol that has adequate blue but some of these pistols need a new coat of paint. I found a 1908 Army Luger at the Houston gun show that was chromed. After the chrome was electronically removed and a new blue job applied it saved a beautiful Luger from the junkpile. If you did not know it's history you would fondle and drool.
You must have a lot of time on your hands or an obscure degree...Charon and the river Styx? Where do you get this stuff? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
