1906 -Is this real or 'enhanced'

siegersallee · 05-18-2016, 11:52 AM

Hi all,

I had taken a hiatus from collecting for about a year and am now getting back into it. I have developed an interest in some of the earlier lugers.

So now my question. I found this on GB and would like to get opinions on it: 1906 .
I am concerned that it is re-blued or in some way 'enhanced'.

What makes me think it is possibly re-blued is:
1) the very shallow C/B on the left side.
2) the pits seem to show blue.
3) some of the parts have so little, if any wear.
4) some of the parts do show wear, so the wear on the pistol does not seem even.

I don't think the lanyard is original; but that does not bother me.

If you guys think it is genuine, I plan to bid on it. Please don't get into a bidding war with me

thanks,
Richard
