Doh! Occam's Razor. Why would the previous gunsmith go to all the effort to chrome just that one part when polishing will do?
You are quite right. I removed it, and the back side appeared to have been blued. Looks like the blue on the visible side was just polished off - a very high polish.
So it is now strawed - an abomination removed. Amazing how fixing that one part makes a huge difference in the overall look of this Luger.
