Desperate Housewives Sitcom

Actually it was the idiot boyfriend who volunteered the mother-of-pearl/officer connection.

I think the produces/writers knew exactly what they were doing here. In the world of Hollywood prop houses it would be easy to rent a gun with the proper grips (a 'special' gun with pearl grips might actually cost more). It struck me that someone involved with the production knew enough about Lugers to play the pearl handles for maximum cheeziness, with the hope that a viewer who shared the knowledge would get an additonal laugh from the "in" joke.
