Sure this must have been refinished

I like this Erfurt, but I am sure it's refinished. The sharp edges looked buffed away.

Maybe this could be my .30 Luger shooter?
Navy mag? A repro no doubt.

Jasta2, the Erfurt assuredly is a buff and reblue job, without the slightest doubt. The second luger is a common 1920 commercial which at the asking price is attractive but .30 luger is expensive ammunition and getting harder to get. If it was a 9mm it would be very attractive.

Buying a lot of .30 Luger brass. Getting back into reloading.

I agree with Herb. There is no doubt that this Erfurt has been heavily buffed and refinished and that "Navy" magazine is an early Mec-Gar modern replacement.

Yes, indeed - heavy-handed refirbishment.

On Wikipedia next to refinished there should be a picture of that Luger. All the rounded edges make it more obvious than most.

I would be advertising it as "Deburred and Radiused for Combat Carry!!"

Why rebuff? May sound obvious but it may have different meaning depending on the luger or owner! Are they always re-blued??``Eric
