Thanks Wombat! Glad you are happy and thanks very much for the review. You put a lot of effort into it! I hope your friends had fun shooting that Luger. The inside trigger surface had the roughest mill marks I have seen on a Luger. The all have some but it was too much and I decided to give it a little face lift. This is my very favorite variation to. Some of the late WWI Lugers and 1920 and 1923 Commercials had these light grips on them (sometimes even beech wood according to Jan Still) Ralph has some originals like that. Anyway, the light colored walnut grips, the rust bluing blue/gray color with the fire bluing and nice matt/milled strawing gives these guns a combination that is just awesome! Mavins Double date is coming up next with Franks gun at the salt bluers (a byf Black Widow) and Tom Armstrong's nice early DWM police is awaiting perfect of a second type of bluing I am experimenting with (more work on that this weekend). Next is Tom Norwoods gun that will be rust blued, I did his strawing last year and it really looks nice. Then I will probably be reworking Rick Kimmels next followed by Steve Lempitski's which is really a bad condition example that almost rivals the SWANS (Ugly Duckling) original condition.

I think Marvins will be ready to ship sometime next week! Have fun and shoot safely! Thor
