1937 Nickel Luger S/42

Just was given the above. Did Mauser make any with nickel, or do I have one that was nickel plated by a previous owner and thus is a "Shooter", and not a "Collectable" (sob!). It's got the three military proof marks and all the parts are matching numbers, exc ept the mag., which was made in Hong Kong! Is this nickel gun valuable, or just a shooter? Many thanks for any info I can get.
