An update,

Many thanks to everyone helping on this confusing issue! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks to John for the photo editing & Hugh for the great PICS of your pistols

Mr Still:

The pistol was bought from a longtime hunter that bought it ( in this condition ) in the mid 60's. He said he bought from the Vet that got it back....but didnt give much details or info on that. He was not able to tell me more about the pistol's condition...

Yesterday at lunch time: a fellow collector came home to see it and concludes ( but he's not 100% ) that it was refinished at some point....

Then at 9:30PM a guy that wants to start collecting Lugers went to see it and made me an offer on the pistol....I did advise him of the confusion as to being refinished ( IMPORTANT FOR ME )...He's going to give me his final word on the deal Sunday at a local Gunshow...

AUTENTICITY is very important to me and in doubt I pass....

I have to say this particular topic is a great learning experience for me.....
