I agree with Bill. It's not collectible but is kind of desirable. In years past I had several handguns nickel plated. The biggest problem was 'fit'. If the handgun parts were tight to begin with, it got tighter with the additional thousandth or so of plating. Another area of concern was flaking or peeling due to incorrect surface preparation.

But nickel looks great with contrasting grips. There is a pic on the forum here somewhere of a nickel plated Luger with smooth ivory/white grips. It really stands out.
