In what part of Iowa is this booster located?
I have seen several lugers and a couple P38s in the past eight years that had nice smooth metal but bad or no finish. Most common among these are the eastern countries imports that are salt blued over original finish. Many appear to have been near mint before rebluing.
I have not seen a 20s luger that was not manufactured with strawed parts. It is possible it was reblued years ago. Do you have photos of one? That would be interesting.
