All About Halos Pretty Please!

blah, blah - either you live with Eric as he is or you don't! I have seen Eric go from barely able to write and he does well now. If he gets out of bounds, then we tell him.

In reality all these hundreds of words, you guys who wrote it could have told Eric and it would be over!

1. What lugers have halo's?
a. those made before salt bluing
b. markings before bluing
2. what is halo's - banging of the metal to other metal and it causes an indentation that spreads the metal, in short, it makes a halo

personally I have seen good halos on the oddest lugers and other times, very nice looking pre-1937 (??) have almost no halo's. simsons seem to have lousy halos... why? unsure
