Default 25-5

I have a 25-5 in nickle....looks original, not a re-do by appearance. I read that these were only produced in blue so am curious about my assessment of this piece. Would appreciate help on this subject.

S&W Standard Catalog says they were made in blue and nickel. I've got two in nickel, one six inch and one four.

If factory nickel the cylinder will have a prominent N stamp beside the ejector star as well as on the inside of the grip frame. Here's a pick of my six inch 25-5.
