P.38 Rework-OT

[Ted]

Contacted John Raum and found a P.38 shooter grade that is mismatched barrel/frame and poor finish condition. Going to rust blue this one so I can have one to carry for myself and leave my collectable ones and not wear the bluing off the one cyq that I was using. Dok and I had been talking about doing one for him, but I thought I would try one for myself first. I don't think there is any evidence that the P.38s were finished in anything but salt bluing or phosphate finished. But Marvin tells me the rust blue that we did on his G Date Luger matches the DUSTY blue color of

some of the P.38s. There is enough P.38 interest amoung our Luger collectors that I thought I would mention it. Got a good price on this gun and will take before and after pictures. BTW, John Raum is the man, assuming Tom Heller doesnt have them, for P.38 parts. I have bought several P.38s & PPKs as well as parts for P.38s from him and he is always fair and the items have been as described and usually even better. Ted
