I've heard plated Lugers referred to rather indiscriminately as either nickel or chrome plated. Iâ??ve never encountered mention of a chrome plated gun of any description with a plating job done before the 1960â??s and even then few and far between.

Are all these plated Lugers nickel plated or is there really such a thing as a chrome plated one? I have Goeringâ??s personal Luger at home. Itâ??s clearly nickel plate. Not a very good job of it though.
