Hi Gerben,
You are right, as far as I know it was possible to order these pistols with either "black" small items or gold plated one.
At a certain point it seems that Mauser stops using Chrome finish and starts using the Nichel finish. I am not really expert in this matter, there is a particular advantage in the Nichel finish or it is only an esthetic issue.

Thank you John for the appreciation.
Ciao
Mauro
