Faked Refinished Boosted, redux

Dwight Gruber · 09-15-2002, 02:35 AM

I recall the occasional question regarding how to tell an original rust-blued Luger from a reblue, particularly a salt-blue. My photographic session yesterday, unsatisfactory in most other ways, provided a good view of the insides of my Erfurt LP08 as a prime example of how an unrefinished, in-the-white interior of a rust-blued Luger looks.

Dwight,

The oil 'stains' are also another testimony.

Nice Dwight, it would be interesting to have others post similar and with reblued guns too.
I can next weekend, but out of town right now.
