To do a nice repo blue I buff with a 204 grit and will most likly finish with a .0005 wire wheel to give it an even look...taking out a lot of the buffing marks, but a quick look at the "grain" of an original Luger, say WW1/Weimar and you will see lots of very small marks/pits for lack of a better word, I do mean looking under mag glasses....all depends on the condition of gun when you start.....I get a lot of Winchesters say prior to 1980, all I do is a 240 buff and dress with that wire wheel...looks like original...
