I give praise to the Lord God Almighty that gives me the skills to do this work. Also remember I have a superb support staff of skilled craftsman that do a great job and each have a part in the final product. I thank Don Hamilton first and foremost as he probably spend the most time on this gun. The person that owned it previously, somewhere in this guns history cut the frame FLAT where a stock lug would have been then drilled holes through what little metal remained. Take a look at any non stock lug Luger and see just how little metal there would be if you cut the surface flat. So Don had little to work with and the danger was added to much heat to cause the whole fragile assembly to collapse and go into a molten mess. His patience and perserverence is to be commented. Finally after MANY
many many attempts at the rebuild, adding small amount of metal at a time, then bringing it back to me, then me reshaping it, he would take it back and repeat the process. At this low temperature, air pockets abound and it tough as heck to get rid of them, you cut them out, then do it again. Finally he did a lot of the reshaping himself. WOW, what a job. Anyway, the gun was very nice and the strawing, high polish DWM Rust bluing really set it off with high polish fire bluing. Hugh Clark outdid himself again with
making some old grips look really new again and WOW they were beautiful and a nice reddish walnut color. GT did the mag work and replaced the spring with one of his superb springs. Tom Heller came through in the clutch with some nice replacement parts. So you see, a team effort to be sure. Thanks for the compliments! I must tell you I was sure glad to see if finally finished.
