Wow!
Thor you are indeed a miracle worker on old gun restoration. That luger pictured above looks like a dug up relic . I really didn't realize anyone could restore a gun that bad! Amazing work! Bob

Bob, my opinion is that just about anything but an actual pile of rust can be restored. Lots of time + lots of skill (Which our Ted possesses in abundance) + lots of $...and a pinch of patience = a beautiful Luger! In very many cases, a labor of love which will take just about forever to recoup through this investment's appreciation, therefore not a particularly productive decision financially. But to breathe new life into these pistols, as Thor does...priceless!
