needs help with price on swiss luger.

Pete,

Thank you for your opinion on the pistol. After all the points you bring up I also think it was redone. After reading through some of the other posts it seems to be the general consensus that this is sort of the norm for most of the swiss lugers out there. Finding one that hasn't been through a little arsenal touch-up would indeed be a rare find.

The seller says that the bore looks like new (barrel replaced during overhaul?). He "thinks" the pistol has not been reblued because the edges and markings on the pistol are still in excellent shape. He stated that he had not had it redone, but could not say for sure because he had not owned it for the last 80 years.

I think I might let this one go and save and save and save my money and wait for a sunburst to come along. Thats what I'm really looking for. Maybe something will show up at the Stuttgart show.

Thanks to all who posted.
