Was it silver plated or nickel plated? Many Americans and British loved to nickel plate blades (and throw away the scabbards
 ).

Hi Carlos
That is really a fantastic reference. I also believe that it is silver plated as it appears that some of it is tarnished dark where the plating remains. The blade itself is really quite well made with a fine taper and sharp as well. |
