Refurbishing Poll... (informal)

Steve,
I have three of Ted's restored beauties. They are the highlight of my collection. There are other pieces in my safe that are worth more, but none that get the ooh's and aah's that these pistols bring. I've had him put his re work mark on all of mine because I do think having his "signature" makes these much more than re blued. I don't know, as some have speculated, that this will make them worth more some day. Frankly, I don't care what they are worth. They are toys that I derive a great deal of satisfaction from. Best of all, I can take them to the range and bang away, content in the knowlege that if I break something, he can fix it (within reason, I suppose). I, as with every other person on this forum, have never seen a "new" luger. I'm sure I know what one would look like having seen Ted's restorations.
