To be more specific, the finish of the pistol is original. You just have to take my word for that. I have been buying and selling guns for a very long time. The toggles are not dished and it is 30 caliber. I have no intention of buying it. At my age wouldn't pay 5K for the Walther pistol Hitler shot himself with. I simply posted the story to comment on my surprise at seeing a nice American Eagle Luger that Bubba didn't get his hands on to chrome plate. I have seen that too. If anyone would like to talk to the Owner of the gun shop here is the name and PH# of the shop. Highland Guns
