If it does, that black enamel that they use is really tough to remove. It took me 3 days with 0000 steel wool, acetone and I have forgotten what else to remove it from a Luger back in the 70's. But, on the other hand, once it was off, I had a 95% original finish lurking under there. __________________ If it's made after 1918...it's a reproduction
