Question on a Nickel Plated Heavy Duty

[epidoc]

Does nickel plating add to the value of a heavy duty. I'm being offered a post war Heavy Duty for $550. It is nickel plated with about 98% of the nickel still remaining. The frame has N on the left side under the grip and the trigger and hammer are case colored.
Is this a reasonable price?

If really 98% and it has the correct stocks I would call it a very good price. If not, pretty good.

But I have been accused of irrational price estimates.

epidoc,
SP is spot-on with his opinion.

Thanks for the opinion. I won the pistol on GunBroker. Will post pictures when it arrives.

epidoc,
About 10% of the pre war HDs were nickel plated.
Hope that helps,
Bill
