He bought it after "buying" into some BS story about who had the Luger chromed; it was done by a army general, high ranking SS officer, fighter pilot, U-boat captain, tank commander or it was a presentation pistol from Hitler to somebody "important". All of the supporting "evidence" came from the vet who captured the chromed pistol after killing the original owner.
Some sucker will buy into this theory about chromed Lugers or P-38s and match his auction bid and then the cycle of BS about chromed pistols will start again, hoping to find another fool.
