What did i buy?

Well. I already sent it to laser weld the deep rust areas and grinded every imperfection out. Wasn't really visible at the pics that i posted. And now it gets reblued and the right parts become straw yellow. As the pistol is nothing special or something for collectors i try to turn it into one that looks like new. It bothers me to have something full of rostholes and ugly details...
And i wanted to try how easy or hard it is to restore something like this.
I have to say that even laser welding leaves the added material harder than the rest. Makes it dificult to grind it down with a file and leave the proessed area invisible..
I will show you the result afterwards. I hope it gets well....

Thats what it looks like now.
The next days i will try how it shoots. The main spring or recoil spring is new (a harder and a bit longer one) to avoid ejecting and inserting problems. Always solved all this problems in the past at my long luger and the other short luger that i had before.

Your "new" Luger looks very nice indeed. I feel sure that you are proud of the end result. Hopefully, it will perform for you. Enjoy!!
