Very odd luger

I just bought a 1938 S/42 with a serial #of 994. I bought this from an elderly gent who says it is a ww2 bring back which he personally took of a dead officer in Italy. All the number stampings are perfectly matched 94 the odd thing is it is NICKEL. I asked him if he had it plated he said that is the way he got it and until I bought it last week it has not been out of his oversea bag since he got home in 45. It appears to be a factory piece but i can find nothing that says they ever came in nickel. Ant help will be appreciated I am trying to post pics but my camera is giving me a fit I will post them as soon as I am able...
