Bird of Prey Luger

Ted, Yes of cours but what I was getting at is the luger looks good with the original blue..at least the cloaking device was on! Then you show it with the old blue off. and the imperfections are quite evident. Then..did you simply re blue it and the imperfections disappeared again under the new blue without metal work such as polishing?

Again..a stunning transformation on the P-38 And Tom 's passing was a great loss to many of us..Truly a great man and a good Friend!

No Jerry, I did NOT simply reblue, I never do that. Part of my job is getting the metal to look as good as possible and like it did at the factory before it was blued the first time. I think what I was trying to say was the are almost always worse that you think when you look at them with the bluing on them, it is deceptive. See the DURING picture of the P.38, all the damage is fixed before the bluing starts, same with the above Luger. I guess I should have posted a DURING picture on the Luger too so you could see therepairs prior to bluing. Sorry for the confusion.
