I have a blade that needs polishing, and no, I think I won't try... A friend of mine saw a 1900 luger and it was, well, a bit shocking. Several areas had been metal turned (is that the right term, where it looks all circle like)? It was a very, very rare variation. It turns out that it had NOT been that way for very long. The kids from the estate thought it would increase the value, kinda like an engraved pistol, but it was a disaster. It was restored at great cost by an expert.

I have not visited here before, but I am interested in different blades. I bought a Japanese short sword (forgive the simplistic usage) last year which had been shown on a forum or two. I primarily collect Lugers, and accessories, I like loading tools, unit marked magazines, but not really a holster guy, I'm too rough on them I was in the Army for 20 yrs as a MP, but 'retired' in 2000, and had to get a real job, as retirement is great for the medical, but about poverty level of pay - then the last 20 I've been in computer security. I used to set up at every Allentown, PA show and a few others. Have gone to most of the major big shows, Reno, Tulsa, Louisville. I love Louisville, especially when they have the militaria and then the gunshow. I have always done better at the militaria show in buying and selling.
