It is being floated on Facebook. I'm not sure if non-users can access it.

All police forces were "Himmler's" after 1937.
A post war chrome plated police luger- nothing "special". JMHO.

Doesn’t the chroming render it an immediate shooter grade?

Yes, normally it does, however this seller is saying that it was done by the Nazi's as a special presentation. Therein lies the rub...

The illustration and accompanying text are from the little black book "Lugers of Ralph Shattuck". Consider that as you may.

I should have said the write up is fluff and speculation = total baloney. JMHO.
A chrome plated, Landjageri police luger from the Weimar era presented to a "Nazi"; yeah, right.

The last comments I saw from the original poster read something like "joke's over", without further elaboration.
All trace of the thread has been taken down. dju |

The German's never chromed their Lugers. Almost all marked presentation German pistols are the small .32 cal variety. A Luger was just another military "tool" and not really considered anything special, except to the American, Canadians & British solders who picked them up on the battlefields.
The chrome job on this pistol was done post war, most likely in the US.

I saw a nice all matching 1914 at an estate sale a while back. it went for $600. I quit at $500.
You used to see a lot of WW2 chromed stuff at gun shows in the 50s and 60s. |
