You can have a bubba job reblue pretty cheap from almost any run of the mill gunsmith. In order to do this he will heavily buff the old finish off, and in doing so he will round all the sharp edges and possibly obliterate some of the small numbers and markings. Then he will hand you a shiny, glitzy gun which will fool nobody and will leave you kicking yourself. Now a professional refinish would be entirely different, resulting in an authentic looking Luger. However, the cost of this will probably cost as much if not more than the gun is worth now. I would abandon the idea, as I consider it non-productive at best, and damaging to the pistol at worst.
