[Thor]

I have expressed my opinion on this subject. I dont know the whys, wheres other things,I was not there when all this happened. I read books others have written that have done more research than me. I know how to do the metal prep, salt blue, fire blue, strawing, rust bluing, and how to shoot, fix some mechanical problems. I count these as a real blessing and an enjoyement. I will leave the deep thought musements to others. Beyond that, you will have to get other opinions on this. On another side note, Luke sent me a beautiful Early DWM to restore that was spotless and about 99% blued. Salt bluing on the entire Luger, a wonderful job, but not original and it was definitely a modern day job! That was the Bavarian Luger. Why would someone do this? They wanted a BLACK Luger I guess! Good luck!
