Hey, thanks for all the answers/opinions. The reason I want to do a proper refinish is because the pistol has been hot dip blued (not buffed too badly though). It looks like a 72yr old gal wearing glitter makeup applied with a trowel - the finish is ugly enough to make me cringe when I look at it. OTOH I got it at a great price and its all matching numbers with excellent bore. Did I mention that it came wearing sloppy fitting plastic stag grips?

I can make it look period (reblued) correct; actually very nice when I put on well checkered walnut grips. That is the reason for my question. As nice as it will appear, I don't think that it will fool anybody who knows about Lugers. Not my intention to create a fake - thats why I was asking.

Thanks

Charlie
