Don I have Gun Digest Annuals from the early 1950's that mention chrome plating for $7.50 more. I know there was a wheel of RST6's that were chromed. I wonder how many actual chrmoed pistols made it to people outside? I can see the interest from trappers and outdoorsmen.

Very few, if any plated auto pistols were marketed. Two chrome plated RST4s were given to the ambassador from Brazil. Two were given to Alex's Sturm's dad. I don;t know of any plated Mark Is in private collections.
