Walther PP refinishing

[joe n]

Hi guys
I have a wartime Walther PP void of almost all finish, otherwise in functional shape. I know collectibility is gone, but can anyone recommend a decent shop that can do a refinish on her? I'm on the fence whether I have it rebelled or just part it out, thanks
Joe

Have it cerakoted, while you're at it you may want to have it re barrelled to restricted. (if it's a 32, maybe a change to 30 Reid). Since it is wartime it could be passed on as 12/7 There is one in 32 on EE for $375 and it's been up for quite a few weeks. So the value just isn't there at the moment. .380 is a different story. If you don't have a lot tied up in it, I would cerakote, re barrel to 30 Reid, have the barrel threaded and put a fake can on it just for fun. Just an idea.

Thanks I never actually considered Ceracoating it. It's a shooter so I would probably just leave it in its original status. Good thinking though.
