Please help identify my Luger

Questions are how we learn. Percent of bluing is very difficult and very subjective. I for one would never make an estimate without the firearm in hand. And even then I am sure several would not agree. From the pictures it appears to be a very nice luger. It seems that diversity in estimating bluing varies more the better condition the firearm. I have very little problem with 80% or less. But between 90% and 98% the fun begins. I think it was Ron Smith who had some good guidelines on bluing. Maybe he will respond to this. Bill
