Thor's Lugers

I'm fairly new to the forum, joined a couple months ago and appreciate the combined knowledge of this group of luger enthusiasts--a quality place to share common interests. I also received my first Ted Green luger last Friday--a 1939 code 42/matching luger that I sent to Ted for re-finishing. Needless to say, its far more beautiful than high quality photos can accurately convey. We sent the grips to Hugh for a make-over, and wow did this set off the final product! Ted if you would like to attach one of the pics you sent me, feel free to do so. I was shocked when I compared the refinished pistol to a very minty/original/matching 1936 S/42 luger of mine. In sunlight the two match identically in color/depth of finish, unbelievable! Is this a coinsidence, I don't think so. I know that "rust-blue" and "strawed" parts are not historically correct for a 1939, but that's what I wanted, and was willing to pay for--it had been previously re-blued anyway--Ted's work only enhanced this marvel of engineering, gave it eye appeal, and the feel of a new pistol, ok pre-mid 1937. I wish Ted the very best in his future pursuits, and feel fortunate to to own a "Ted Green original". I do not know how many Forum members have seen one of Ted's pistols first hand--probably not many I guess. It's a marketing and exposure thing--If there are 600 forum members out there, I bet there's at least 500 lugers that could use Ted's services! The dollars spent will be well worth it, and you'll be preserving your pistol for generations to come. I have no stake in Ted's business, but do recognize high quality when I see it. If you love the luger you owe it to yourself to own a Ted Green original--it will be the pistol you compare everything else you own to, and the pleasure you'll receive from his work will far exceed the price of admission--which by the way is a hell of a great deal. Thanks Ted, best of luck--hope you will find a way to prosper at the business you love the most! RP.
