G Luger re-straw ?

[DavidJayUden]

Well, Drs, do we concur that the gun has been refinished? Some of the trim on the lower looks a bit rounded, but the paint and wear arount the safety looks unmolested.

And the toggle is a replacement with the correct #? Are there any known exceptions to the S/42 vs. 42 code?

Can we get some close-ups, including the frame numbers?

But regardless, I guess it is safe to go ahead and straw the correct small parts, but don't go overboard. Nothing looks cheesier than too many strawed parts (IMHO).

David, a G date that has blued parts where they should be strawed is by definition are refinished gun.
I also agree with Bill that the toggle is a swap, possibly period, as it has been numbered to match.
