Bright NIckel guns?

[yahoody]

I've seen few USFA bright nickel guns.  And most of them in 4 3/4".  All of them early USFA production guns  A couple have been posted here that I remember, a 5 1/2" and a 7 1/2" that were likely later production guns.  Anyone else have a bright nickel gun they'd like to share pictures of?



One of a pair in 45 Colt.  Early gun.


Beautiful pair of  .22 rimfires.



A pair of the earliest USFA guns I have seen.  They are unfired.  Interesting history behind this beautiful pair.  Well known gun writer bought them directly from USFA.  The story goes,  "used as display guns at the SHOT Show".  (no engraving on the right just the mirror polish reflecting the local foliage)


4 of this 6 are BP, Prewar frames with V notch sights.

I have 1 Nickel USFA, this one.

I'd say it's an early gun also.

But different from most.

Such purdy guns!!

When you say early, does that mean all American made?

USFA put in their own nickel tanks in 2007 or 2008.  Prior to that, guns were sent out to be nickeled.

Attached are my two USFA 1860 Richard Mason Conversions in consecutive serial numbers.  I love these guns...albeit they're safe queens.

Shown elsewhere, here is my "B Western" USFA.  Manufactured in 2008, .45, with Sambar stag grips from www.elenhunting.com.  
I have a few nickel plated USFA's.  A 4" ejector less w/ hard rubber grips, 4 & 3/4" w/ elephant ivory, this 5 & 1/2", and a 7 & 1/2" with factory walnut grips.  Also have a Double Eagle that I ordered in bright nickel but came in with the matte, Rodeo II finish.  Turns out that it is a bit of a rarity for a Double Eagle.
