Default Re: Evaluating a Luger finish

bcc,


This is a very interesting experiment you did. I was very surprised with your findings with the percentage. From my previous posting, maybe I am too critical as to condition and the dealers are closer. I agree that that condition is relative to the person who is doing the evaluation and you must expect at least a 1-2% diffence of opinion from any tweo experts.


The NRA grading systems was a good one, but the percent of bluing grading can get closer to the condition.


As I stated, I like to have pistols as nice as possible, but I do like the mid-90s percent range. It shows just enough wear to have been carried, but not abused.


Good Posting and good research.
