Repair of Deep Pitting

I owned one professionally restored 1918 DWM Luger years ago. Was really ignorant at that time and shot it quite a bit. It looked and functioned like a new one and was quite accurate. By definition, a professionally restored firearm looks and functions like one just from the factory. I traded it for a 95% original .45 Colt Peacemaker with 4 3/4" barrel made in 1898. After all these many years I guess I made out better in the trade. I still have the Peacemaker.

To add, this was 30 years ago and I didn't know anything about Lugers except it was a nice pistol. The guy kept bugging me, wanting it and offered the Colt in trade. I made the trade without any idea of cheating anyone.
