Chrome-plated Luger

unspellable · 07-17-2007, 02:29 PM

I've heard plated Lugers referred to rather indiscriminately as either nickel or chrome plated. IÃ¢??ve never encountered mention of a chrome plated gun of any description with a plating job done before the 1960Ã¢??s and even then few and far between.

Are all these plated Lugers nickel plated or is there really such a thing as a chrome plated one? I have GoeringÃ¢??s personal Luger at home. ItÃ¢??s clearly nickel plate. Not a very good job of it though.
