James, Just a thought but you can have the chrome removed electronically and the pistol restored back to it's original rust blue. I did it on one of my pistols and it came out great. You want to have it done by someone who knows what he is doing so as not to buff it after the chrome is off. Ted Green on the Forum here would be my choice. There is some disagreement as to what this does to value but I do not think that it will hurt it, only improve it in anyones eyes. Do you intend to keep the pistol or get what you can out of it? The holster in good shape is worth between $100.00 and $300.00 in pristine shape. WW1 wood bottom mags usually go for $100.00 and up. Alot depending on condition. Jerry Burney
