First Luger Restoration

Hello to all,

Over the last month or so I've been preping, strawing, fire blueing, and rust blueing. As I stated in another thread posted earlier, it's no "Thor", but I couldn't be more happier with the results I acheived. I bought this shooter for $425.00 about a year ago. It has several different parts which I'll go ahead and name a few. Erfurt Toggle, K-date barrel and receiver(with outstanding grooves and lands), and what appears to be an Imperial marked side-plate and lower receiver.

I have to thank Art Buchannan for walking me through the process step by step making sure I did everything correctly (sanding, preping, blue, etc.) He also did a great job touching up the checkering on my grips. Well I've rambled long enough and I apologize for the picture quality.

Semper-Fi
