TKS Heinz I agree with you as to regimental marking all others I have my doubts as to serial numbers and import marks, Don't forget the eagle! They all had to be prebluing! Thanks for your input! My 1902 Fat Barrel has no halos including a sharp 'GERMANY' '22713' TKS The last one isn't mine! Demonstration only!Legacy has a good example https://www.legacy-collectibles.com/...at-barrel.html All imprints are sharp!

The bluing was applied by hand; i.e., the whole part was not dipped in a solution. The rust bluing solution was wiped on and you may encounter a frame or part where a bit of the solution got on the area not intended to be blued. I've seen that on a Luger or two. Then the part is hung in a room to actually rust. The part was carded (wire brushed) to reveal the bluing underneath. The process was repeated until the depth of bluing desired was achieved.

Rust bluing is a beautiful finish but time and labor intensive.
