In short it is not yet hopelessly screwed up.
I have done one like this..a 1908 first issue I found chromed. I suggest you get it electrically reversed..same way it was put on but reversed. That would leave the base metal stripped but not anything gone but the chrome.
You might have to look hard to find someone who can get the chrome off without damaging the pistol.
Restoration of any historical artifact is a time consuming project and this will take some dedication.
