Welcome to the forum.

If it's mechanically excellent, don't do anything except maintain it properly.

We publish a FAQ reference document on this forum. Be sure to download it. Just follow the FAQ links at the top of every page. You'll find the information useful.

Take your pictures with a camera that can focus properly, and in natural shaded light without using a flash. That way the finish will photograph properly and we can see details.

You cannot improve a Luger by refinishing it. You'll spend money and probably reduce it's financial as well as historic value.
