Missing Halos

Alvin - There is a gun I am thinking about, but pictures are not possible. I was speaking in general terms, to learn if any and all rust blued Lugers without the barrel halo should be avoided.

David - I may have used the wrong terminology. By "rust patina under the blue" I meant the red/rust color you can see under an original blued finish in strong direct light, like sunlight or a maglite. I agree with you but I did not mean blue over rust pits or scratches.

By "so what" I take it to mean you do not care if a gun appears 100% original but is missing the barrel halo on the SN? As long as it wasn't reblued recently?
