not to me. however, minus $200-$300 for the holster, the belt buckle, another $100 (maybe more??), so the nickled luger cost $400-$500

if you think of why these are nickled, then maybe you won't put them in the "pimp" category. They were nickled / chromed because that was the in thing to do at the time after ww2, had very little to do with "pimps"...
