Mike,

I could not look at the picture due to a firewall from work, but if the Luger is chrome plated, I think it was done post war and feel 99.99% sure this is the case. The German soldier that was issued this pistol was responsible for it and if he lost it would have to pay for a replacement. As in the US Army, they were not allowed to alter the weapon in any way without authorization. A chrome plated pistol was not good for a combat situation and the truck drivers in the German Army were constantly under fire. I don't know what the asking price for the pistol is, but I am sure it is more than it is worth. Without any documentation, it is a rework and not worth that much money.
