Hi Francis, I don't collect Banners and know little about them. Are the muzzle and safety bar supposed to be blued, or should they be "in the white" like military Mausers? Regards, Norm

Norm, I do not know a lot about Lugers, but I am pretty certain that the sear safety is correct, blued. The rivet should be in the white, and is.
The muzzle in the white, I do not know. It may once have been in the white, but now after 71 years I will call it patina. I believe it would had been white.
