Greeting from Detroit!
I am a brand new member to the site and hope i am in the right place to have my question answered. (and I already made a donation lol)
I have a 1985 model 25-5 .45LC in nickel finish. I was told by a local gun dealer that he doesnt believe that my gun was factory nickel. I have the blue S&W "revolver" box it came in and the serial number on the sticker matches the number on the gun...However, under the Fn (finish) section of the label it says "B" for blue. Another local dealer told me that if it is after market nickel whomever did it did an exceptional job as it looks factory to him. Is it possible that in 1985 S&W may have made an error on the label?
