Leaving aside my views on the originality of this particular gun (100% Kosher in my opinion), I question whether the Simichrome test is useful on the salt blue finish applied from 1937 on. As for the Grandma's purse test, well really! Regards

Gentlemen, FWIW, I checked my database of Thor Restorations and this Luger is NOT in my listings. It has NOT been through TLC treatment (Thor's Luger Clinic)
