I will have to compare it to my Tahoe bumper. I am leaning towards nickel. Took a little polish to small spot and rag came up black. In my experience, chrome would not leave a black tarnish residue upon polishing it.
Whoever did the plating, did a good job. Markings not ground down too much and sharp edges pretty much still there. It may just be me but it seems heavier than my 1913 DWM. The grips are slightly thicker and actually feel nice in hand.

B.T.W. Thank you everyone for your comments and input.
