I must recognize that I love to look at them and use them, but it forces me to be aware of them and clean them frequently, this does not happen with stainless steel, as everything in life loses something and gains something.
What happens, however, is that being a piece, so classic, with so much historical heritage, the blue finish is for me, it is essential, but it must be a brilliant mirror-like flue finish as they used to be of high quality and workmanship. work and this is not possible without greater budget in its production.

I know this thread is almost a year old, but I was looking at Walther PPK's on this forum and saw this thread. It shows a lot of nice guns, and I like how PERA is like many of us here........he has the love of a fine deep blued gun! We all recognize that it does take craftsmanship that is not seen much anymore to get that high quality finish we all love!

Mr. Boykinlp, thank you so much for your words, receive a fraternal greeting from Uruguay country .
It is interesting how the passion for weapons Masterpieces creates fraternal bonds, no matter how far away we are and makes us realize how similar we are, the peoples, the people in their essence.
Thank you for being Mr. Boykinlp

The blue ones were a bit less expensive, but I ended up shelling out a few more dollars to get the new "stainless" alloy. This PPK/S has made every range trip since it was acquired. Very easy to shoot and accurate at pistol distance. Maybe not a "brick through a plate glass window" but it does it job well. Now if I could only find a few more magazines.
