Blueing
Any ideas what method the Poles used to blue the P-64? My '75 has a large bright spot on the left hand muzzle end of the slide and I'm tempted to have the slide re-blued or even try doing it myself..
Re: Blueing
Is it kinda purple ish?

Re: Blueing
Seems to have some purple tones to it.,. The '75 seems to be a bit bluer whereas the '68 is a bit greyer (68 is last photo)
The '68 favors grey blue.

Ok, I misunderstood, what you have is holster wear, I was thinking different colors in the blueing.

Re: Blueing
If your looking to bring the finish back to original, pay someone who knows how to do a good job to do it as the original finish on these was quite good. Personally, I would leave as is, they don't look abused at all, more like veterans with service rockers to the elbows and a locker full of stories that can still do the job if called upon. I would be proud to own either one of those.

Nu-Blu is the best, imo: https://stockdocusa.com/shop?olsPage=pr ... u-blu-8-oz

Re: Blueing
I'm only mulling it over.., I doubt I'll go through with it.. I cam across prices in passing and it more that the guns are worth..

If you do go for it let us know how it goes, what you use and pics of how it turns out cause we all would be interested.
