Re nickel
The grips came off my chopped 2nd model SH (1890) which received repro grips. Pic attached. On the refinished gun, I carefully tried Flitz Polish followed by Renaissance Wax. It cleaned up OK, but every flaw in the metal shows through....unless it's the new coating. My poor photography skills do not show the flaws. I suppose I was hoping for a brilliant high polish finish and that's hardly the case. My unrestored 2nd model looks better. Not looking to throw the gunsmith under the bus as his reputation is top notch. Perhaps I just expected too much.
