A 1917 Erfurt Luger should have four strawed parts: trigger, safety lever, locking bolt and the ejector. All four on your gun are blued and that is proof positive that the gun has been reblued. Also, is any of the pitting under the bluing? The only way that is possible is if the bluing was applied over them. Another tip is that the safety bar that appears when the safety is applied should be in the white.
At some point in it's life, someone decided that the pistol would look better if it was refinished. Few gunsmiths actually take the time to buff a gun in a way that will keep the various stamps sharp as that requires far more time than reasonable for him to make a profit. No one is being critical of your pistol but it is what it is. Enjoy it for the pleasure of owning a unique piece of history. I sure would. |
