Think that Ed is absolutely correct. NO Luger EVER left the factory chrome or nickel plated. No matter how much the dealer trying to sell it to you or your neighborhood expert insists that it was made for the Navy and designed to resist rust, or it was issued to Hitler's Personal Honor Guard, etc. These were plated by GI right after the war because it was in fashion and people had no idea that the pistols would one day be rare and sought after.
Still, Chrome Lugers are developing a following and an HK chromey would certainly be a conversation piece.
