First post but Third Luger

It's refinished, no doubt. The grip panels and patina on safety bar actually reflect its overall condition before it was refinished.

I really appreciate everybody’s responses. I had a hunch that might be the case, but not having the experience of many on this board I appreciate knowing.

Nothing was said one way or the other when I bought it. Considering the price I have nothing to complain about. It will never replace my first one (a mix match of at least two guns, but a fantastic shooter.) but I fully intend to enjoy it and continue looking for a “collector grade” one.

With the indulgence of the members I will try and get better pictures tomorrow and post them. Any additional information will be appreciated. Especially as to how to replace the pin that retains the toggle pivot pin.

Here are better photos. At least this has gotten me to thougherly disassemble and clean it. The Grips are not original to the gun, when I ordered it sight unseen I was asked if I wanted the plastic grips or wood, thinking at the time all plastic grips were replacement I asked for wood.

Does anyone know what the ”T “on the back of the frame stands for?

These pictures were taken with the metal completely free of oil. The more I looked the more certain that everyone was correct about it having been refinished.

Any additional information would be greatly appriciated.
