Reblued??

BogeyB · 09-08-2004, 08:25 PM

Is there any quick to tell( other than 30 yrs experience! ), if a Luger has been refinished or reblued?

Thanks

BB,

Its *very* easy. Pls do a search on my posts about semichrome tests, forensic examinations, etc, etc.

Yes, and this has been brought up before, it might be easier to read previous posts, do a search on reblue and other items. One of the most obvious would be blueing where there shouldn't be blueing, also blueing over small pits, letters smeared, etc.
