Just finished a Ballester Molina Pistol, really nice 45 copy of the 1911 Colt. Some internal differences.

Got the S/42 shooter back from Ted and it really looks nice. I got the DWM rust blue with strawed parts because I prefer the Imperial appearance and the receiver has a 1936 chamber date.

Out of curioisity I laid the refinished S/42 next to a 1913 military and a 1920 commercial that both have very nice original finishes. The bluing on the restored gun looks identical to the others. Not pretty close, but identical.

Ted also did some adjusting and tweaking to get the gun to function reliably for em. Thanks Ted.

Picked up my 1940/42 from Thor last night and let me tell you he did an awesome job on it. All I could do was keep on saying wow, beautiful, amazing, etc. <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" /> The words to describe this escape me. You really need to see his work in person. Pictures do a decent enough job but wait until you actually hold one of his works of art in your hands and see the craftmanship that Thor puts into his work. Totally amazing. I showed it to the Mrs. last night and she was amazed at what he done. Now she is saying that we should not shoot it any more. She does not want to ruin it. I highly recommend Thor if you want to have a P-08 fixed up. You will not regret it one bit. Thanks for all your hard work Thor. You know I really appreciate it very much.
Sid.

Thanks Strider, I enjoyed turning Strider the diamond in the rough into Aragon the regal Luger.
Enjoy it and shoot it. Now you need an Artillery, they are a must for any collection.

Ted,

Tell who ever is cleaning up the grips that I do NOT want that "new" look that is in the pix on this thread...just a *very* light cleaning.

Thanks,

Thor, was that one of the original five Lugers that Mr. Berg brought back from Yemen? or is this the fruit of his latest trip?

Yes one of the originals. I have restored a K date, a Mauser Banner and now this Mauser byf Black Widow from the original group. This gun was given to Robert Berg's brother, Louis. So Louis is my client on this Black Widow. I think he gave this K date to his father.

The 42 byf Black Widow Luger is shipped to Louis Berg. Doug and Nancy Taylor came by to pick up his 1917 Erfurt Luger. What a wonderful time we had with them. My whole family enjoyed the visit. Doug and Nancy had stopped also to see GT and Carol Tomek, and Ralph & Nancy Shattuck! I am continually impressed with the good Luger folks I have met. <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />

They had very nice things to say about you guys. He enjoyed your P.38 collection too! I told him about the "special holster" you made for JM and he was quite astounded as was I! I am sure PANZER showed em a good time too! I showed him the plum bayonet you gave me! PRICELESS! He mentioned really liking that Navy Luger of yours!
