I know there have been quite a few nickel plated models 28's appearing on the forum over the years, and we have all pretty much agreed that they were refinished. I have always wanted to at least see a real one so I would have an idea how they were done from the factory. there is one on Gunbroker right now with a latter confirming it is a factory nickel finish. I will try to remember that the front sight is all plated but with a matte finish. It also has the matte finish in the same areas that the blued HP has the bead blasted dull finish. Bid is at $7025 right now. Buy it Now is $8500
