So far, the nickel plated S&W revolvers that I have seen had a pretty nice polish to them. One with a satin finish would make me think it is either a neglected nickel finish or an aftermarket, electorless nickel or hard chrome finish. If it is not an original finish, then what you have is a shooter, not a collector piece. But... perhaps a law enforcement agency ordered some with a satin finish.
