black paint on a luger?

I can't imagine that, that is a real production finish. I imagine that someone added the paint thinking it would keep it from rusting.

None of my relatives has or had a Luger they could give me [img]frown.gif[/img] so it is always interesting hearing that from others. Is your grandfather still around, where you could ask more questions, that sounds interesting on winning it at a raffle, my father in law's sister won a raffle for a Browning A5, which is pretty much the same type of raffle [img]wink.gif[/img] I know this is still done by groups and must have been common then?
