I don’t want to hijack the thread but I think we’re in similar situations.
The plating on the PPK definitely appears to be over bluing. In spots where it’s flaking, it sure looks like the bluing I'd expect.

This will be a resale item for me so I don’t intend to put a lot of money into it...and the plating isn’t in bad shape overall.

Just the fact that there appears to be a good finish under it and I can see by the lettering that it hasn’t had the crap polished out of it.

I wonder, can one plate over bluing? And if so, would the Brownells room temperature nickel remover take the theoretical bluing with it?
