I am wondering about having an old S&W nickel plated revolver redone. The nickel has flaked in may areas. Any advice on who might do this kind of work? A couple of years ago Gene Williams was unhappy with the nickel plating from Ford's in Florida. Does any know if this has changed, or are their others who members of the Forum can recommend?

I think there was a recent thread where Ford's was back up to standard. David Chicoine does really good work too
