Hi,

It is a post war Mauser Parabellum and it certainly didn't leave the factory this way. Mauser offered a matte hardchromed version of the pistol, but these showed a more satin like finish. Since the chrome layer adds metal to the parts, the pistols finished in the Mauser plant were specially prepared for chroming. The tolerances were adjusted and the individual toggle parts were numbered to the pistol. Chroming was done by Mauser's sister company, the Mauser Messzeug GmbH (the tooling division).

The Mauser shown on the Turkish site has had it's serial number and position altered, which is a good indication that Mauser was not involved.
