Okay, time to be ambivalent here.

Wes and Jerry have good points.

The bluing appears to be too good to be true, and as Wes stated, I don't like the lack of wear on the rear, nor on the safety area. Yet, if a re-blue, they did a really outstanding job, as the numbers are very sharp and clear!

I really believe this is one of those guns you have to have in front of you, torn down to decide if it is a re-blue or a pristine type of Luger. Also, as Frank stated, the u suffix doesn't make sense?

A couple of weeks ago, I looked at an amazing collection of guns, learned so much my head hurt for a week [img]smile.gif[/img] and I thought I saw a couple of re-blues, but out of 40 different guns, only one was truly a re-blue. There are some righteous pristine guns out there!
