Don't know if it is original nickel, original nickel that has been replated or a blued gun that has been nickled. Will probably send for a letter from Colt to find out more. Also, the hammer is not stock Colt. It has been reshaped to look more graceful and to ???. I've got a set of the original Colt checkered walnut grips, but I think it deserves something fancy! I also have a set of Lew Sanderson target grips that would look nice on it!

Yep, was on GB. I saw it and pushed the "Buy it Now" button. Haven't done that very often! I have a soft spot for the Officers Models and didn't have a "shiny" one in my collection.
