It's okay, we all get excited by a "maybe...could be?" kind of gun.
There are a couple discussion threads around the Interwebs about stainless "prototype" S&W 34-1s. I thought maybe I had found one, but it's just the 1970s hard chrome as described above, though really well done. I did polish it ever so slightly with Mother's, but the plating is thin so be careful.
FYI, the "prototype stainless" threads are pretty much all full of it.
