Take down lever question

[Piker]

I knew that some eagle eye'd HP guy would chime in.
I am aware of the official history that FN made no nickel plated pistols during the war, yet here I have this example of a fixed sight, nickel plated, nazi stmped HP.
Before you jump to the logical conclusion, No, the stamps are not filled in as would be indicative of a "after market" plating job...
The pistole came from out of the woodwork so it is highly unlikely that the nazi eagles were added post war.
the only thing that has been done to this pistole since I have been it's owner is the grip screws were replaced as they were stripped.
(unfortunately I had to use blued screws)
To the best of my knowlege this is a genuine one of a kind example of a factory nickled FN HP 9mm manufactured during the occupation.
The theory my dad put together was this was walked thru the factory by a German officer and had it made to order.
I'm open to other theories...
