DWM upper value?

The color, and the flaking, would lead me to believe it is a "bumper chrome" job. It wasn't too unusual back when auto plants were everywhere, and surplus pistols were common, to have guys at the plant co-operating in this.

You'd hand your cardboard box o'parts to your buddy at the start of the chrome baths, and he'd dump them in, in an empty tanks. (the tank was empty for many reasons, including because you asked him to plate your pistol)

At the other end, another buddy would fish the parts out, and put them into the cardboard box.

Things were different back then.
