Two more show & tell photos :

A M1908 Navy Luger...that Joe Salter had for sale some time back :

And this next photo is for you, Vern...

BUG proofs on a Borchardt pistol that show strong halo...gun was obviously refinished and the mechanic thought to "add" halos back on...looks like with some micro-sand-blasting tool...

(Ron Wood and other guys that know Borchardts have stated in the past that you should never see halo on the BUG proofs on Borchardts...)

Gun was on a previous RIA auction.
