Well, as was previously stated above by Retired W4, the gun evidently was originally nickeled, but even with the additional photos, it's still hard to tell if the current plating is original - certain details still suggest to me that it may be a refinish, albeit in the factory style. In any event, any value this gun has is as a shooter.

The killer here is the lopped off barrel, and the subsequent lost support for the ejector rod. That, coupled with its age (which imposes some common sense limitations as to how hot a loading ought to be used), really restricts its utility.

I'm sorry to have to be so negative in my assessment, but in all honesty, my estimate would have to be that this is about a $200 gun (retail) in most parts of the country.
