Blued, Strawed, Nitre Blued and White?

Revolvr · 02-13-2006, 12:42 PM

I am putting together a list of what parts should have what finish. The list should apply to all Lugers produced before the introduction of hot salt blueing in 1937. Information for this list came from a variety of sources, most notably this forum.

I have questions though I am hoping someone could help out on.

Thx

Rust Blued: Frame, barrel and extension, exterior only. Question: Inside the barrel extension rails should be blued too right?)

Strawed: Trigger, Ejector, Safety lever, takedown lever, mag release.

Nitre or Temper blued:
Grip screws
All large toggle pins
Extractor?? (Also, I believe the left side of the extractor where it usually says LOADED or GELADIN should be polished back to white).
Front sight?
Sear Bar?
Hold Open Latch?

In the white:
Frame interior
Safety Bar
Sear Bar Spring?
Coupling Link
Firing Pin
Firing Pin Retainer
Recoil Spring Lever
Mainspring guide
Left toggle retaining Pin
Muzzle?
Smaller pins?
Hold open latch spring?
