Default ? K22 Nickel

Had a friend contact me about a K 22, but Nickel plated, a 1951 vintage. I told him most probably aftermarket but as he described it I asked him to bring over and he did. As I look at it I'm pretty sure it is aftermarket, but a really high quality job. The hammer and trigger are still good case color, but the front sight "and" the rear sight are "satin" nickel. The extractor star is also satin nickel. I keep hearing of the occasional special order nickel gun, and wondered if this was one of them I told him he probably needs to spend the $100 on a letter.

If a couple of you "experts" would look over these poor pictures and let me know your thoughts.












By the way, the gun is unfired, and you can tell it hasn't been used since built in 1951. S/N K13197x. Unfortunately doesn't have the box.
