Eternally grateful for the old board!

Holy cow! there is such good info here. I just stumbled on a thread by Pete Ebbink asking for a checklist of thing to check after purchasing a luger.

Big Norm said, "Yah, I use a restorer who has shown me a few details that at first glance, I never noticed. Like have you ever noticed that on the receivers rear rabbit ear rails, on the right side the grind marks go vertical. The left side goes horizontal."

Now here I am holding my byf41 and SURE ENOUGH, the raised portion on the right rear of the frame has abrasions straight up and down, while the left side has the abrasions horizontally, parallel to the bore axis.

(Then my mind wanders and I begin to ponder if Thor maintains this pattern in his restorations...)

Man, the things you learn from the arcane minutia on the old forum!
