Rick, if the pistol is not really buffed all to heck, then I would try to get a better picture. Maybe using a light filter or a different camera setting will make it look better.

Nickel plating can be removed electrically by reversing the process that put it on. Most plating shops can do it, but make sure you deal with one that will take in a gun without a major panic. Another route is to call Colt and find out if they will restore the finish.

I have lost track of the cost of that sort of stuff, but it just might not be worth it.
