Re-bluing: its impact on collectability and value

[siegersallee]

Hi all,

I have seen a 1918 luger that has caught my eye.
It is a DWM with all matching including magazine and grips with about 95ish blue and 93ish straw (very subjective).

Anyway, it was re-blued about 20 years ago.

From very close inspection of the pictures, it does look very nice and the bluing was professionally done...by someone on the board if I remember.

So the punch line: what is the impact on collectability and value?
