Travis, welcome to the forum. Actual information is needed to help. Its serial number, suffix and markings. And a picture of it, rather than one like it.

byf's is the code for Mauser, so we can say it was made by them, however, it should also have a date stamp, most likely it is a byf 41 or byf 42?

Lugers were never made originally in nickle, it was very common to have GI's nickle or chrome them immediatly after the war.
