It was not allowed. Nobody would be permitted to chrome or nickle goverment property. Why would they do it?
This gun was originally issued to the Imperial military in 1916 and subsequently marked to the Weimar government 1920.
1920 is a Weimar government ownership mark, not a date. 1916 was the manufacture date of this pistol.
This question comes up all of the time.
