Hi Bob,

High quality real nickel plating is often difficult to distinguish from unpolished stainless steel. Chrome less so, due to it's very shiney appearance. The weren't any factory nickled, nor stainless steel military Lugers.

Gunshow dealer's never fail to amuse me. "It's a piece of junk. I'll give you $400 for it." If it's a piece of junk? I wouldn't offer anything for it. Any time a dealer offers cash for a gun. He figures he can sell it for at least a 25%-35% profit.
