Hmmmm...A plated Police Luger...That's unusual...

How did you remove the plating??? Was it nickel or chrome???

Electrolysis, used a plating company local. Took 5 minutes in the tank (parts) and all the chrome was removed.

I purchased the gun cheap, and I wanted a shooting copy. Im happy with it right now. Maybe someday Ill restore it, but people want more to restore it than I paid total for how she sits now
