[Edward Tinker]

And let me throw in a few cents;

I was at a friends house, he had 4 or 5 of the same year and model luger. He said, which is a reblue. I hem and hawed and picked one, and he said, "Wrong", none of them are.

My point is that besides obvious clues such as blued and it shouldn't be parts, bluing inside of the barrel, inside of the frame, bluing OVER pits and marks in the metal, that it is damn hard to figure out at times if it is a reblue or simply an excellent piece.

Anything over 95% I start to worry, checking it extra careful. Afterall, any gun over 50 years old is liable to have picked up some bangs, wear and tear.
