Chrome:(

Now you have me wondering if it's nickle or chrome. Up to this point I'd assumed almost all plated guns, Lugers or not, were nickle plated and chrome was relatively rare.

I believe the opposite is true. These Wartime prizes arrived in the USA after WW2 just at the height of automobile chrome. Chrome shops could be found accross America in most towns of any size. It was easy to find people to do this. Nowdays it might be very difficult to find someone to do this work as it is prohibited or tightly regulated.
