.Plated Pistols
..Lordy…..I remember when I was about 8 or 10 years old…(born 1941)…hearing the ole WW2 and Korean Vets talking about having their "war souvenirs chromed"…..thats what they called it back then….and I really believe they used to take them to a car bumper shop to have them "chromed"…..I just remember it was "the thing" for some Vets to do back then……..one of my neighbors showed me a Colt 1911 .45 that his dad brought back…..all matching numbers…..and it had been "chromed"…….Ah Well……Hans Fischer
