New buyer looking at this gun...what do you think?

Jack, I think Norme means that using white on a Luger - no mater how nice the gun - can hide faults such as an over stamp or a stamp that has been "enhanced". Thus, "lipstick on a pig". perhaps not the best way to say it but it makes the point.

My Swiss is at least 95%, all matching and truly very nice. I don't put mine on display except in pictures and I make sure that my lighting shows the markings very well. It's a personal choice and I avoid it for the most part.
