This is on Egun, listed as new, I think its been redone. What's your call? Its initially listed as a S42 but corrected to be a Simpson Suhh with a G S42 upper

A poorly done buffed and reblued piece. It's unfortunate that someone was probably very proud of their work when it was done.

Ouch! This is about the most heavily buffed Luger I've ever seen. The front of the Simpson receiver is completely rounded off and on the right side frame rail you can clearly see arcs created by holding the frame a against a buffing wheel for prolonged periods. Ron is right: whoever mutilated this gun is probably proud of the result. Ironically, it will probably fetch a collector grade price for what is now, in my opinion, shiny scrap metal. KFS
