G.T., you are very welcome. It’s the least I can do after all you have done to help me get started! That pistol included (it’s the middle one in my avatar photo)

Gerry, are you limiting yourself to just Lugers??? I have long been an advocate of 'dip bluing'; no buffing, just an acid wash and bluing. No buffing, ever.
Just asking...I have nothing definite in mind. ![]() But I would say there is a definite market.

Hi Rich, I'm not sure but I would suspect mostly Lugers. Sometimes just the cleaning up of a part or two will improve looks quite a bit, other times the whole gun needs some loving? I agree on the acid strip / dip blue idea. It takes forever in my world, to sand and polish parts, large or small. I would have to experiment a little. I would have an outside source do the bluing... I can do the niter blue and straw... To make it work I'd have to be able to offer some type of quantity to make it worth while overall, for anyone... That's why i was posting the thought, just to get some feedback on feasibility?... Best to you Rich, til....lat'r....GT....
