If he takes it to a local gun guy, how much do you want to bet he will be told that some German officers were issued nickle plated Lugers? Happens almost every time. That is a favorite story of folks who know nothing about Lugers but like to pretend they do.

You probably should let your father-in-law talk to the local "expert", the results might be amusing, and sure as shootin' if he hears what he likes, that is what he is going to believe.

Anyway,it is a neat gun and, as policeluger grudgingly suggested, probably worthy of restoration.
