bmarvin Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I bought #53678 from Amoskeag last weekend. After looking at additional close up photos and speaking with Eric Larson, I believe it's original nickel finishAnyone else ever come across one?Neither Eric nor I have ever seen another H&R Handy Gun in nickel although Essex did make a couple Handy Guns in nickel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I like it. I need to look through my old H&R catalogs to see if it's mentioned, but I bet Mr. Larson has already researched it. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill DeShivs Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 Strangely, the forend iron seems to be chrome plated, or just polished steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherman3 Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 I have 2 of the nickel Essex guns and only the receiver and forearm metal are plated. .All other parts are blue including barrel, pins, trigger guard and release lever. Also the bead on your gun appears to be plated. Cool gun and very high number but I question factory plating. But who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
