I should add that over many years and in many cases the Lugers I inspected were from direct Vet sources that I have seen several Rust-Blue re-blues from the period of the 20's or early 30's. Most of these Lugers have shown pits under the re-applied finish. One has to assume that if the pistol was not rusted and badly worn then there would have been no need for the Germans to re-blue them and since the Germans did not resort in heavy buffing and polishing (in my experience) in their re-working practices....pits will sometimes be found under the re-applied finish. I cannot speak factually to re-applied Strawing, but I suspect that this was also done on the pistols that were rust re-blued.
