Could it be the nickel silver finish and not chrome?

i have a similar one, but the trigger is also chrome/(nickel?). a matching magazine as well.  the tiny shiny sights make it really hard to see the front post at all in some lighting conditions :D

This is a chrome nickel Hi-Power HKILLER. The silver chrome model is dull and gives it a harder look finish. More pictures would help to identify it such as serial # date code, factory markings, etc.

There's lot to make me go "HUH?"
Blued hammer, nickel plated gun.........not the way it left Belgium.
The only T series HP's that were nickeled were the "Renaissance"  (highly engraved) models.
Nickel plated Hi Powers weren't a standard production item until the 1980's.....well after the last T series was built.

This. This is why I wanted to see the other side, to see the serial number. IMHO it has been reworked and chromed.  T series, so what, late 60's original production?

T277XXX would put this T series Hi-Power at 1969/1970. HKILLER, this pistol has been re-finished. Still a shooter though. Keep it and enjoy.

I don't know about that low, maybe around $500.  I'd rather have a ruined T series than a ruined nazi hi power with an internal extractor.

The T series could at least be made into a nice shooter or custom build.

The "Raison d'etre"..."reason for being", for the "premium" associated with the "T" SN is the belief...often "less than true", that the "T series" were fit and finished much better than "other" BHPs. Not to say that one shouldn't...simply because of downright foolishness in the market, expect to pay a "premium" just for the "T" SN...such is the silliness associated with the BHP marked of late.

With that said; this "T" appears to have had issues before the plating...perhaps that's why it was plated, and looks to have received less than stellar care once it was plated. And...market variations aside, I personally wouldn't pay more than $400 for it...not knowing what's really under the plating but knowing the costs, waits and hassle involved in attempting to return it to a reasonable semblance of its former glory.

FWIW, "Luftwaffe symbols"? That would be EXTREMELY rare, perhaps you mean the standard WWII German Waffenamt codes found on occupation manufactured BHPs;  WaA613, WaA103 or WaA140 for Fabrique Nationale, Lüttich?
