A co-worker of mine has asked my to find out any info I can on his Luger so obviously this is the first place I thought of:
Any info is certainly welcome. I did notice that it looks like it might have been reblued, the finish is way too brand new looking to be original. Supposedly it was a bringback by his father in law. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A highly polished, buffed and reblued pistol. The side plate either does not match, (perhaps a commercial sideplate or has been so buffed that any number has been removed).
A nice shooter but not a collector's piece. |

yeah I was thinking it was definitely refinished, very very smooth to the touch. Thanks.

and the color, when its been sanded too smoothly its gets this highly shiny look to it.
But I have a bring back that I bought as a shooter, wasn't till I got back from Iraq and looked at it that I realized it had been brought back, had bring back papers and the dad just had it refinished. Still a bring back and its nice addition to my collection.

Many Vet's had their "bring-backs" refinished... some blued, some nickeled, and (Gasp!) some chromed... they had no idea of the future value of their Luger or other war trophy pistol... These guns are what they are... a piece of history, albeit improperly cared for, or preserved... they make great shooters...
