Chrome/Nickled Luger photos please

Most of them are now 'very rare complete matching rigs' and many probably also have been reborn as 'rare mint condition navy lugers'.

The rest was probably the supply stock for those highly decorated, engraved, pimped up 'commemorative lugers' of the historical society.

Factory chrome plated lugers do exist. Mauser introduced the matte hardchromed finish in the mid 1970s on their Mauser Parabellum pistols. These pistols were specially prepped for this finish and chrome plated by their sister company, the measuring tools division.
