Franz, it is always possible that someone chromed or nickled the gun. This was common just after the war, and many guns were nickled or "chromed" (few are probably chrome, but really nickle). I have one that appears to be nickled, that is actually not nickle, but shiney steel, John Martz liked to make them that way, it has a 4 inch bull barrel on it.

If you have problems posting, e-mail me,
