My first Luger... G date

While my impression is also that it has been restored (which I consider a grade above refinished, since the work paid attention to keeping edges sharp and correct), the unusually deep color could relate to flash being used in the photography. It would make it easier to judge the finish if the photos were not taken with flash.

Take them in shaded, indirect sunlight outdoors. Use a tripod and use the closeup setting of your digital camera. Size them to about 1080 pixels across on the long axis, then post them as jpegs.

It's a very nicely done Luger. It would be interesting to see if it's in Ted's database as his work.
