I can't help with your question. I own a regular Model 213, and I think it is a fine pistol. Your post is the first I have heard of in a stainless-steel version.

I have a 213 and it's a neat gun. Added a 7.62x25 barrel and mag set up to it. Pretty simple swap out.
I'm curious about the "only 100 made it to the states" - suggests more were made which makes me consider "other than us, who would buy the stainless 213?".
Is there a way to ID it as stainless for sure?

A local shop had one that was purported to be stainless a few years back. Around $200’IIRC.

I bought one about ten years ago for a whopping two hundred bucks.
I wanted something with a lanyard loop for working on the tractor so I would not lose it.

Not stainless and not even a 213. Some poor NVA officer had to give his life so that I could own his gun. I didn't kill him. One of our Cobras did.

It would be chrome not stainless, if anything different it would be done stateside by the importer. Do you have the box?

Kind of reminds me of the Colt pocket hammer.

Yea, only in 7.62x25.
On the 213, I was thinking maybe hard chrome as well.

If it was hard chromed Carbon steel any self respecting magnet would stick to it.

Any decent magnet should stick to stainless firearms as well.
I've seen these listed by sellers as stainless before, but I'm thinking they're plated.

My magnet sticks to my M-66 real good. The last time I checked, it is made from stainless steel.

OK , I found a stronger magnet and it does stick somewhat . But not as well as a regular piece of steel . So I guess since Mr Owl figured out it only took 3 licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop I will ask him .....

Not all Stainless Steels are magnetic.
My PPK/S is Stainless Steel, yet it won't attract a magnet.
