johnnv, I'm sorry--I just can't resist, so I'm gonna 'splain it to you: When you have your Erfurt "refinished" by the local Bubba gunsmith, he salt blues it (incorrect finish), then buffs it to death (rounding all the sharp edges) and then hands it back to you permanently ruined. When Thor RESTORES it, he uses smoke and mirrors, pixie dust and all kinds of other wonderful Luger magic to bring your gun (as nearly as is possible) back to the condition it was in the day it left the Royal Erfurt Arsenal. He will apply the correct rust blue finish, renew the straw finished and fire blued parts (all correctly), and make any pitting, scratches, dings and other bobo's simply disappear. He also sends the grips to the grip wizard, and when you see them on the gun again you won't believe your eyes. What I enjoy most about my Thor restored guns is watching people's jaws drop the first time I had them one. Try it--you'll like it!
