WWI Luger - Plated

DavidJayUden · 02-12-2014, 12:35 AM

Just to clarify, a plated Luger has some value, but not as a collector's piece. You can be a smash hit at the range with one and you may find someone who wants it badly.
But probably not a serious Luger collector for the reasons already given.
Have fun!

Once funds permit again, I plan to acquire nickel-plated versions of all the major WW1 and WW2 pistols for shooters. I've already started with a nice nickel-plated WW1 Colt 1911.

I've seen nickel-plated 1911's, Lugers, High Powers, Radoms, etc. in the past 5 years. Usually, the nickel-plated guns were very affordable, compared to a gun with original finish...
