my new luger and cleaning it

ive used very fine steel wool and lots of oil to clean up light rust on a few guns...its never scratched, but yes i understand the hot dip blue is a very poor finish, so it could be more of a problem

i also test it out before i go nuts.....never scratched a guns finish yet with it...

i watched a few video's of the rustblue process....its very different and interesting.....this is why i think the brown area's on my gun are normal from lack of oiling....it could be called a patina to some....i wouldnt disagree....im not educated enough to know if long term these patina areas will become pitted rust or just stay brown patina.....im happier with it being black(blued) vs brown....back to the original finish its supposed to have.....
