capkid,

Once you had the cost of a shooter Luger, Have someone like Thor refinish the metal, the Gold Plating should not cost that much because the plating is so thin the amount of Gold is very little. At one time there was a company that sold a Gold Plating outfit for the novice. It included the Gold, solution and all was needed was a tank/pot and a battery. The process was an electrochemical plating process. Therefore, I don't think there would be a great cost involved. The metal prep would be the most important part of the cost.
