That looks great hill Coffins. How well does it wear or last with use? Thanks, DanL
The best I can tell it is much like original Colts that had silver plated grip frames. The very few Colts I’ve had the opportunity to inspect closely were thinly plated like this product did for the one pictured. Often the plating is only in the protected areas. Note that the plating on this well worn 1849 Colt is tarnished and much worn.

I used a product similar to that Liquid Silver on a couple of mine (Nushine brand, I think). Because it's a chemical reaction instead of electroplating, the silver layer is extremely thin and wears off pretty quickly. Looks good, though.
