1936 Dated Krieghoff Luger

Notice the careful exclusion of the word "original" in relationship to any mention of the gun's finish...

Then they go on and claim the blueing is "98.9%"...here is the G-B ad text :

" ...This is a collector-grade gun with 98.9% bluing..."

But if you go to the PIA web site, you see this legal mumble-jumble about rating a gun's % finish...

"..It is entirely subjective to give any Luger a rating of excellence or fine, just as it is to declare it xx% blued or strawed. Bluing percentages is like Beauty; in the eye of beholder..."

And when they "beholding" your money, you loose the argument about not getting a gun that is 98.9% when it comes out of the box at your home.

And...they even have a link to the NRA grading criteria for grading antique arms...on their web site...

Yeah...you betca'...
