Jan, I totally agree with you. I recently bought a near mint 1918 DWM from a dealer and had the same problem. Upon initial inspection there was no loss of blue but upon return to home and subsequent cleaning and inspection I found to my dismay that about 10% of the bluing had gone by the way. Live and learn, no report of condition was provided at the sale. I have for many years used nothing on the EXTERIOR of my rifles, shotguns and pistols but a good coat of Carnuaba auto paste wax and it does wonders for the finish. The whole idea is protection, this wax is made just for that, if it is good enough for Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches and the like, it is good enough for my Lugers. Try it, Mikey likes it! <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
