All the outdoor and gun magazines used to advertise DIY "gold" plating kits in the 60s and 70s. I'd bet the next round of coffee a former owner added that touch. One of these days I'll take acetone and a bristle brush to the markings on my Model 15.

That letter suggest that maybe i should save the money on the letter and maybe even use that money to refinish it once again...??

A properly refinished revolver is not an inexpensive procedure. Removing nickel plating adds quite a bit of extra cost. You might want to consider leaving it as-is and enjoy it for what it is.
