3" Nickel 13-3 Shows Up

[Retired W4]

Yep, I already have two 4", one blue, one nickel w/box. I don't know why but I feel like I should have a 3" blue.

I picked up a 3" Nickle 13-3 myself this month. Became available at the LGS I work at part time. Here's a couple of pics. My computer croaked last week so I had to get a new one, here you go.

I picked up this Nickel Model 13 about 3 years ago for $500 AUstralian Dollars (about $345 USD). I would have preferred a blue model however, due to our gun laws, I can't be too fussy about finishes when buying revolvers under barrel lengths of 4". We need a special licence category for snub-nose and compact handguns.

There is a little nick in the plating on the left side. Is there anyway to get this fixed without having to re-nickel the whole gun?

Unfortunately, there is no touch up for plated finishes. Your best bet would be to gently polish the exposed steel, then apply Renaissance Wax to prevent rust.
