Two guys look at the same luger, one says it is "nice" the other "pretty", a third says "I wouldn't have it! It's chrome plated" ;
I'm not sure what you think is pretty.

Polished and re-blued?
Original finish 97.5%?
Not rusted or pitted?
Chrome plated?
Matching with a great bore but outside wear?

so **buy**one**

look around until you find a reblued or just happens to be a nice looking shooter - I have had a number of very nice or cleaned up ones (reblued) that were pretty

I find 'pretty' fine, but not what I collect

Ed Tinker has a gold plated Luger that he could probably be persuaded to part with...
