Double Date DWM Disaster

The old girl is looking better. I should have some DURING pictures tomorrow showing the damage clean up. It is ready for me to rust blue it. These tough ones are satisfying but they do require patience and perseverance. I have to remind myself of the line from "The Outlaw Josey Wales" I must "Endeavor to persevere."

I must say, I can't wait! I always enjoy seeing restorations on the forum but yours, Mr. Green, are always breathtaking!

Thank you sir for the kind words. I am having fun doing these restorations. And please call me Ted or Thor if you like.

Here are some in progress DURING pictures. That camera sees more small pits than I do usually. Remember I am trying to salvage as much as the markings as I can while addressing the pitting WITHOUT doing any welding or engraving. Put a pair of ill fitting cheap grips on it to make it start to look like a nice shooter Luger. There are also several links under the first DURING picture of other pictures of this Luger.
