Brad:

I would like to hear about the Germans that had their pistols nickel plated. Seems like having a nikel plated hand gun in combat would be analogous to having a nickel plated helmet.

I do know that it was quite common for US post-war occupation forces to have their captured pistols nickel plated. It could be done at the local bicycle shop for a pack or two of cigerettes.
