TLSS Various Restorations on a Roll

Lee123 · 09-15-2004, 02:05 PM

I've seen a few commemorative/presentation firearms here and there but the artistry and skill you put into the restoration process elevates the ordinary to the level of jewelry. It's kind of hard to imagine that originally nearly all lugers came out of the factory this way. I guess thats why so many have survived for a hundred years although for some reason the artillery luger was deemed particularly evil and many were destroyed when captured or confiscated. Glad mine wasn't and served as a nickel plated paperweight or was forgotten in some old guy's sock drawer.
