welcome patsy, NONE of them are original like that. In fact, I just bought a 1917 DWM that is nickled. They were all done that way after the war (WW2 usually), as WW1 guns were brought home by GI's from WW2, but it could have been done any time after WW1, but NOT by the german gov't.

So, I guess they'd be called after-market lugers, and sell for less than a shooter price usually ($500)
