From post and other stories I have been told that 100's, if not 1000's of Veteran bring back Lugers were chromed or nickle plated therefor distroying their collect value. I wonder why if so many Luger suffered this fate and seemingly undesireable why I never find them up for sale. Maybe the original vets are hanging on to them. I take a plated Luger can have the plating stripped and an original type blue job done returning it , in a form, to it's original state, but I take never it's collectabitliy. If some of you guys have a Luger or two in your collection that has been chromed or nickle plated, could you please post a picture or two that I might see? I take many were done rather poorly and others done quite nice.
Thanks you
Regards,Bill
