Re- Finish prior to Re-Issue??

Maybe I have just missed reading or seeing this someplace.

Does anyone know if there is documentation on Imperial Lugers being re-furbished or re-finished or "dipped" prior to being issued to Reichswehr units?

I have seen reference made to " Re-worked Lugers being arsenal re-finished" by on-line sellers and even by some well known on-line dealers. I have always passed this off as "sales hype" to justify high prices on re-finished Lugers.

If this is indeed fact? Is there documented evidence?

Thanks! Ron
