Lugers with Worn Bores

unspellable · 09-02-2003, 05:40 PM

How about a bore that is not so much worn as pitted from corrosive primers. Where do you draw the line for such a bore?

I have a DWM 1920 commercial in 7.65 mm with such a bore. The pistol is otherwise in excellent condition except for two small notches in the edge of the trigger guard. The finish is near perfect. (I suspect it is not be the original finish, but there is no sign of pitting or polishing under it, so the pistol was in excellent condition when finished.)
