OK, I have to jump into this one too! I don't think there is really a bad Luger, they are all great! The only difference is the price range they fall into. A to the P.38, yes, the "cyq" has been the black sheep of the P.38 family and it is not deserved. We have accustomed ourselves to the fine German craftsmanship, that we dopn't want to accept the lowering of a finish. The nice high polish finish on the early P.38s is great, but it is not a military finish which should be required. A combat finish should be dull and not bright so it will not reflect light. the "cyq" with the rougher finish does this job admirably with the tool marks and breaks up the surface. The "cyq" P.38 is as good as any other P.38 as far as the intended purpose.
