Why not just leave it as is. It is what it is and spending money will not change that. Just an old man's opinion. Bill

Thanks to all for your opinions I didnt know that stripping the nickel could have so many issues involved.

There are collectors (or accumulators) who would be interested in paying good money for a well nickel plated Luger. Chrome is a bit too garish, but nickel looks pretty nice on pistols. I've owned several and have been very pleased with that finish. You could then use the proceeds to buy a collectible Luger...or two shooters...

Jerry,
There is a very little copper in steel. Without a metal spec book (books that describe the amounts of elements in various steels grades, such as 4130, 4140, etc., and other metals) I cannot tell you exact amount, but most have some from times in the past when I was looking up the different types. Maybe another member can help both of us regarding the copper? art |
