1915 Chromed Erfurt- Questions and Pictures

Well like I said this is my first Luger and I just bought it, yesterday in fact. It has a few spots that i think are rust coming through from nicks in the chrome, and i'm worried they spread and/or get worse. It seems like the gun wasn't buffed or anything before chroming there is a section that clearly shows rust pitting from when the gun was blue that has been chromed over. So I guess my reasons are two fold, one to save the gun from deterioration and two to bring it back to what it was. Alot of this will depend on the costs involved, I don't have alot of money to put into it so if the costs are too high i'll probably sell it and look for another in shooting condition, lately when I do see a Luger for sale it is marked very high ($1000+) and not that great condition.

I will try shooting the barrel as is though. Thanks.

I'll try to get some pics up tonight. Should I start a new thread? I don't mean to hijack this one.
