In response to Sam--where do it get Lugers enhanced? Much inhancement work can be done by the average guy who has some mechanical tallent. Straw colors, blue touchup, and grip checkering methods are not a top secret operation. I suggest you locate someone who has been working on Lugers for many years[not necessarily a Master gunsmith who is in business] and ask how to do some of the work. I have known a guy or two that have taken a new Luger enthauist under their wing to teach them the trade just to enjoy seeing the young guys excitement. No--one of these guys was not Martz--someone told me that he charges $500 to teach his skills. I am pleased that some of you guys recognize that there are a whole lot of Luger collectors out there that are unknown and collect what they can afford. They have nice collections that look good---they don't show them off or brag--they don't advertise or go to big shows--Guns and Ammo will never do an article on one of their Lugers---But they are collectors. I realy believe that there are more of them than there are of the Big D's. Sam--I have heard that MidWest Arms have a selection of enhanced Lugers---I am not familiar with them--you might try contacting them--maybe they do the work or could put you in touch with their enhancer. Maybe they would even be willing to give you a few pointers on doing some of your own work.
