    If your pistol looks like this? It shouldn'd be plated or finished bright. They were used by the krauts ( Sauer 38-H, is what they are ) and had a blued finish. Click on this link.

    None of the 38-H's were made out of stainless steel. Very few, made for commercial sale and as presentation pieces were plated. Doubt very seriously that one with a WAa 37, military acceptance stamp, would have been one of these.

    A agree with Rufe here. Someone plated a militarily accepted 38H in the fifties. I have seen likely a hundred of these over the years. It was a pretty futuristic looking gun back then, and Chroming it made it look "cool". There is a chance you could buy it, and restore it, but they are not super valuable (in most of it's forms anyway) and the cost would probably outweigh the benefits.
