1917 Erfurt with bluing loss opinion

ChrisG43 · 02-10-2019, 05:05 PM

Went and looked at a 1917 Erfurt yesterday, all matching except for the magazine. Problem is the bluing loss on the side of the frame. The seller describes it as "blood pitting", that makes no difference to me. I ran my finger over the raised area on the frame and it almost felt like it had been sanded. The contour seemed a little odd, but this could have totally been my own imagination. The finish on the other side of the pistol and the top of the pistol was decent (90% or so). Would this be worth it at 800$, and would there be a way to professionally reblue this one area? Thanks Chris..
